  1. Excerpt

    Epithelium on damage control mode: a transitory local feedback loop in response to cell elimination prevents neighbor cell death to ensure tissue sealing.

  2. Excerpt

    How do epithelia regulate cell elimination to remain intact? Using recently developed in vivo tools, Valon et al. find that extruding cells protect their immediate neighbors from elimination via an EGFR-dependent process.
