Density-Dependent Rearrangement of Desmoplakin in Epithelial Junctions: Insights from Expansion Microscopy

Ukyo Kawasaki, Yusuke Arakawa, Tetsuhisa Otani…·Shuhei Chiba

The paper uses expansion microscopy to show that epithelial cell density changes the organization of desmoplakin in junctions, with increased C-terminal spacing in confluent monolayers.
