Article Synopsis
- Cell extrusion is a process for removing unwanted cells from tissues, crucial for maintaining cell balance, but the exact mechanisms behind it are not well understood.
- This research reveals that during cell extrusion, extracellular vesicles (EVs) form in a way that helps execute the removal of apoptotic cells, involving the exposure of phosphatidylserine on the cell membrane.
- Additionally, the study demonstrates that the formation of EVs influences neighboring cells' behaviors and underscores the significance of membrane dynamics in cell removal and tissue stability.
