Researchers have developed two innovative tools to help us delve deeper into cell communication, offering spatial insight ...

In pink, wild type cells expressing gamma actin. In black, knock-out cells that do not express gamma actin. The yellowish lines reveal the tortuous nature of the junctions. Our skin and mucous ...

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 ...

Neuromuscular diseases are caused by problems in the way muscle cells, motor neurons, and peripheral cells interact. Researchers from the Max Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine in the Helmholtz ...

Many cells comprise the tumor microenvironment, but endothelial cells are particularly crucial. They line blood vessels, regulating blood flow and inflammation, and their cell junctions are the ...
