Epithelial cells are joined by adherens junctions, which consist of homotypic interactions between extracellular domains of E-cadherins. Inside the cell, the tails of E-cadherins bind actin cables ...

Researchers report the first evidence in living organisms that adherens junctions, the 'glue' between cells, actively respond to mechanical cues by remodeling their position and intensity, which in ...

Analysis of the spread of a wild-type measles virus expressing the green fluorescent protein (GFP) in human airway well-differentiated epithelial sheets revealed that measles virus infects only ...

Northwestern Medicine investigators have uncovered new insights into how intercellular "glue" functions to enable interactions between cells, as detailed in a study published in Nature Communications.

The development of super resolution microscopy has revolutionised how scientists view and understand the inner workings of the cell. Just as advances in satellite camera technology gave rise to highly ...

Researchers at the University of Münster develop method to visualize structural changes in a prominent adhesion protein / Study published in Communications Biology The formation and maintenance of ...

Cold Spring Harbor, NY-- Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press (CSHLP) announced the release of Cell-Cell Junctions, Second Edition, available on its website in hardcover and eBook formats. Neighboring ...

Using super-resolution microscopy, an international research team has revealed, for the first time, how cadherin-based cell-cell contacts are organized. The development of super resolution microscopy ...
