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 ...

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 ...

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.

Scientists at Feinberg are reshaping scientific understanding of the cell's tiniest components—structures once thought to be static, now revealed to be dynamic engines of cellular life. As they probe ...

“Collectively, these advancements offer ground-breaking insights into mitigating energy loss in perovskite solar cells,” said assistant professor Hou Yi (right). Image: NUS Researchers from the ...

Microscale 3D printed arches guide cells to form natural self-bonds, improving how soft tissue attaches to medical implants without added proteins. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Efforts to engineer reliable ...
