Dying cells are typically expelled from epithelial sheets to prevent foreign substances and microorganisms from entering, but the mechanism underlying this process is unclear. A recent study has ...

The field of mathematical modelling of calcium signalling dynamics has evolved into an essential interdisciplinary area that bridges applied mathematics, computational simulation and cell biology.

Researchers discover a calcium-mediated effect that helps preserve the integrity of the sheets of cells lining our bodies and organs. Fukuoka, Japan—A research team from Kyushu University in Japan has ...
