Cells compartmentalize biochemical reactions not only in membrane-bounded organelles, but also through the formation of droplet-like macromolecular condensates. Condensates arise through a process ...

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 ...

As a human embryo grows, a set of molecules directs cells as they multiply and take on specific identities and spatial positions within the embryo. In one crucial step known as gastrulation, these ...

Researchers at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) have unveiled groundbreaking insights into the function of cell junctions in the brain, shedding light on their role in conditions ranging from ...
