Nucleation of cadherin clusters on cell-cell interfaces
Abstract Cadherins mediate cell-cell adhesion and help the cell determine its shape and function. Here we study collective cadherin organization and interactions within cell-cell contact areas, and find the cadherin density at which a ‘gas-liquid’ phase transition occurs, when cadherin monomers begi...
