Intimacy is a cellular turn-on he simple act of coming closer together ignites signaling pathways in epithelial cells, as shown and colleagues. The results describe how cells might activate cellular responses to T mechanical stress. Cells are pushed closer together by physical forces. In the lung, for instance, epithelial cells feel the pressure from underlying muscle tissue, particularly in as...
