This study shows human bronchial epithelial cells clear rhinovirus by extruding infected cells in two waves, maintaining barrier integrity but promoting viral transmission.

The paper shows that starvation-induced cell extrusion selectively removes DNA-damaged cells, improving tissue fitness through a p53-dependent pathway.

This study identifies Piezo1 as a regulator of focal and reticular adhesions, showing its role in EGFR clathrin-mediated endocytosis on stiff substrates.

This study shows that blocking mechanical damage in airway epithelia during asthma reverses airway remodelling and hyperresponsiveness, suggesting asthma may be curable.
