Scientists led by Sergey Troyanovsky, Ph.D., professor of Dermatology and of Cell and Developmental Biology, have uncovered new intracellular mechanisms promoting cell-cell adhesion, a process ...
Researchers at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) have developed CarGAP, a chemo-optogenetic tool ...
Cell-to-cell junctions were visualized by ZO1-GFP, and the dynamics of cell junctions were captured by movies. When the cells indicated by * were spontaneously stretched, a continuous belt of cell ...
Gap junctions are specialised intercellular channels that facilitate direct communication between adjacent cells by allowing the regulated exchange of ions, second messengers and small metabolites.
