Stereotypical interciliary contacts in a C. elegans sense organ

Physical interactions among cells and their processes are critical for intercellular communication and the generation of ordered tissue patterns. Primary cilia projecting from the cell surface have recently been shown to form contacts with the processes of diverse cell types, as...

Apical extracellular matrix development

The apical extracellular matrix (aECM) plays crucial roles during morphogenesis and forms the interface through which tissues communicate with the environment. The aECM exhibits complex molecular composition and structure, including multi-layered organization, localized cell-type...
