Researchers have discovered the primary mechanism driving the extrusion of dying cells from epithelial monolayers. Researchers from the Mechanobiology Institute, Singapore (MBI) at the National ...
Figure 1: Extrusion correlates with singularities in cell orientation in the epithelia. Figure 2: MDCK WT epithelia behave as 2D, extensile, active nematic liquid crystals. Figure 3: Compressive ...
