which involves changes in membrane dynamics and cell polarity within the first few hours of contact, and the generation of secondary messengers that trigger cytokine production and T-cell effector ...

...cell adhesion can regulate the establishment of cell polarity. In many cell types, proteins are asymmetrically distributed over the cell surface, which creates separate apical and basolateral ...

and thus can't contact the membrane as snugly. Meyer and Gong suspect that, in general, this newly discovered structural ...

Adhesion junction is crucial for the stability of the epithelial lateral membrane and the maintenance of cell polarity.
