Epithelia cover the body’s surface to form a barrier that segregates the internal body from the external environment. Tight junctions (TJs) seal the paracellular space and are crucial for the formatio...

Tissue plasticity and homeostasis rely on the mutual interplay between cell behaviour and mechanical inputs. Yet, mechanical stress can also contribute to the evolution of some pathologies, notably by...

Epithelia cover the body and form a barrier to segregate the internal body from the external environment. Epithelial tissues contact the external environment and are exposed to various stresses that a...
