Cell–cell junctions form the structural and functional backbone of multicellular tissues, coupling adhesive complexes with the actomyosin cytoskeleton to regulate barrier function, tissue remodelling ...
Epithelial tissues form selective barriers and undergo complex remodelling throughout embryogenesis and organogenesis. Central to these processes are specialised intercellular junctions—tight ...
When two cells "talk" to each other, they often do so through tiny channels called electrical synapses. Unlike chemical synapses, these so-called gap junctions enable the direct exchange of ...
