During wound repair, branching morphogenesis and carcinoma dissemination, cellular
rearrangements are fostered by a solid-to-liquid transition, known as unjamming. The …

Background Virtually all cell types have the capacity to secrete nanometer-sized extracellular
vesicles, which have emerged in recent years as potent signal transducers and cell-cell …

It is unclear whether the establishment of apical–basal cell polarity during the generation of
epithelial lumens requires molecules acting at the plasma membrane/actin interface. Here, …
