Morphological profiling allows accurate identification of cell types in dense iPSC-derived cultures, allowing its use for quality control and differentiation monitoring.

Intercellular adhesion can be mediated by adherens junctions, tight junctions and desmosomes, whereas cells can interact with extracellular matrix molecules through focal adhesions ...

Epithelial tissues are in constant interaction with ... were thereby able to show that altered transmission of force via cell-cell junctions (adhesion junctions) alters apoptotic cell death ...

Epithelial tissues are in constant interaction with their environment. Maintaining their functionality requires dynamic balance (homeostasis) and that their cell numbers are tightly regulated. This is ...

Inflammatory responses are closely associated with many neurologic disorders and influence their outcome. In vivo imaging can document events accompanying neuroinflammation, such as changes in blood ...

Cell competition in epithelial tissue eliminates transformed cells expressing activated oncoproteins to ... These results revealed instability in cell-cell junctions specifically in the transformed ...

The general principles of how viruses move between target cells and tissues, and why some viruses can achieve direct cell-to-cell spread whereas others cannot, including the advantages and ...

Changes in biomechanical properties of biological soft tissues are often associated with physiological dysfunctions ... An external mechanical actuator in physical contact with an organ or cell is a ...

When exposed to SARS-CoV-2, the junctions between endothelial cells appeared to weaken slightly. The cells also had increased levels of reactive oxygen species, which are damaging byproducts of ...
