The 6th American Society for Microbiology Conference on Cell-Cell Communication in Bacteria convened from 16 to 19 October 2017 in Athens, GA. In this minireview, we highlight some of the research presented at that meeting that addresses central questions emerging in the field, including the following questions. How are cell-cell communication circuits designed to generate responses? Where are bacteria communicating? Finally, why are bacteria engaging in such behaviors?

Apoptosis is a key feature of preimplantation development, but whether it occurs in a cell-autonomous or coordinated manner was unknown. Here, we report that plasma membrane abscission, the final step of cell division, is profoundly delayed in early mouse embryos such that a cytokinetic bridge is maintained for the vast majority of the following interphase. Early embryos thus consist of many pairs of sister cells connected by stable cytokinetic bridges that allow them to share diffusible molecules.

Hyaluronic acid (HA) has received considerable attention in the reconstruction of lost periodontal tissues. HA has been proposed to play a role in cell proliferation, differentiation, migration, and cell-matrix as well as cell-cell interactions. Although various studies have been conducted, further research is needed to expand our knowledge based on HA such as its effects on cell proliferation and osteogenic differentiation.

Coronary obstruction following plaque rupture is a critical pathophysiological change in the progression of stable angina (SAP) to acute coronary syndrome (ACS). The accumulation of platelets and various inflammatory cells on apoptotic endothelial cells is a key factor in arterial obstruction after plaque rupture. Through single-cell sequencing analysis (scRNA-seq) of plaques from SAP and ACS patients, we identified significant changes in the annexin V and P-selectin glycoprotein ligand 1 pathways.

In multicellular organisms, Wnt proteins govern stem and progenitor cell renewal and differentiation to regulate embryonic development, adult tissue homeostasis and tissue regeneration. Defects in canonical Wnt signalling, which is transduced intracellularly by β-catenin, have been associated with developmental disorders, degenerative diseases and cancers. Although a simple model describing Wnt-β-catenin signalling is widely used to introduce this pathway and has largely remained unchanged over the past 30 years, in this Review we discuss recent studies that have provided important new insights into the mechanisms of Wnt production, receptor activation and intracellular signalling that advance our understanding of the molecular mechanisms that underlie this important cell-cell communication system.
