Table 2 The main characteristics of cell head-on and glancing interactions
From: Epithelial cell-cell interactions in an overcrowded environment: jamming or live cell extrusion
Type of cell-cell interactions | Head-on interactions | Glancing interactions |
|---|---|---|
Cell re-polarisation | yes | no |
Weakening of cell-cell adhesion contacts | yes | no |
Weakening of cell-matrix adhesion contacts (i.e., focal adhesions) | yes | yes |
Generation of cell torque | no | yes |
