KANAZAWA, Japan, June 15, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Researchers at Kanazawa University report in the Biophysical Journal that the process of cell removal from an epithelial layer follows from an inherent mechanical instability.

Key Points: 
  • KANAZAWA, Japan, June 15, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Researchers at Kanazawa University report in the Biophysical Journal that the process of cell removal from an epithelial layer follows from an inherent mechanical instability.
  • Of particular interest is the process of cell extrusion, where a single cell loses its 'top' or 'bottom' surface and is subsequently pushed out of the layer.
  • A thorough understanding of this phenomenon from a mechanical point of view has been lacking, but now, Satoru Okuda and Koichi Fujimoto from Kanazawa University have discovered that there is a purely mechanical cause for cell extrusion.

KANAZAWA, Japan, June 15, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Researchers at Kanazawa University report in the Biophysical Journal that the process of cell removal from an epithelial layer follows from an inherent mechanical instability.

Key Points: 
  • KANAZAWA, Japan, June 15, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Researchers at Kanazawa University report in the Biophysical Journal that the process of cell removal from an epithelial layer follows from an inherent mechanical instability.
  • Of particular interest is the process of cell extrusion, where a single cell loses its 'top' or 'bottom' surface and is subsequently pushed out of the layer.
  • A thorough understanding of this phenomenon from a mechanical point of view has been lacking, but now, Satoru Okuda and Koichi Fujimoto from Kanazawa University have discovered that there is a purely mechanical cause for cell extrusion.
