Intercellular forces generate distinct patterns of extrusion: high compressive forces (top panel) drive apoptotic cell extrusion toward the upper side, while lower compressive forces (bottom panel) ...

Cells in humans and all vertebrates are tightly packed together to form organs and glands — tissues essential for living, breathing and moving. The narrow spaces between cells represent natural weak ...
