Observations of electrical signal propagation across colonies of epithelial cells suggest they may be able to communicate, ...

Epithelial tissues are layers of tightly connected cells ... when the dome shape transforms into a curved fold shape. Using a physical model, we showed that collective, programmed cell behaviors ...

Both cell junctions and cytoskeletal networks help stabilize tissue architecture. For instance, the cells that make up human epithelial tissue attach to one another through several types of ...
