De novo E-cadherin/catenin complex formation controls basal epithelial mechanics and force transmission for apoptotic cell clearance

Abstract Beyond serving as cohesive barriers, epithelia clear apoptotic cells to regulate development, homeostasis and inflammation. How epithelial cells remodel their shape during phagocytosis while preserving tissue integrity, and the role of adhesion receptors in this process,...
