In order to communicate and transfer cellular cargo, cells within tissues can link together by fusing their cytoskeletons and cell membranes. These connective structures, called adherens junctions ...

To harness cells' natural and highly specific self-destruction abilities, the team developed a kind of molecular glue that sticks together two proteins that normally would have nothing to do with ...

Northwestern Medicine investigators have uncovered new insights into how intercellular "glue" functions to enable interactions between cells, as detailed in a study published in Nature Communications.
