During development and tissue homeostasis, cells must communicate with their neighbors
to ensure coordinated responses to instructional cues. Cues such as morphogens and …

During embryonic development, cells communicate with each other to determine cell fate,
guide migration, and shape morphogenesis. While the relevant secreted factors and their …

Filopodia are actin-rich structures, present on the surface of eukaryotic cells. These
structures play a pivotal role by allowing cells to explore their environment, generate …

Tissue-resident macrophages are heterogeneous and perform location-dependent
functions. Skin resident macrophages play intriguing roles in long-distance intercellular …

In addition to diffusive signals, cells in tissue also communicate via long, thin cellular
protrusions, such as airinemes in zebrafish. Before establishing communication, cellular …

Several studies have recently demonstrated that the correct regeneration of damaged
tissues and the maintaining of homeostasis after wounds or injuries are tightly connected to …

The skin, the body's largest organ, functions as a primary defense mechanism. Epidermal
stem cells supply undifferentiated keratinocytes that differentiate as they migrate toward the …

Specialized cellular protrusions facilitate local intercellular communications in various
species, including mammals. Among these, airinemes play a crucial role in pigment pattern …

Intercellular communication is indispensable across multicellular organisms, and any
aberration in this process can give rise to significant anomalies in developmental and …

The skin, the largest organ in our body, serves as our primary defense mechanism.
Epidermal stem cells supply undifferentiated keratinocytes, which undergo differentiation as …
