Thanks @katecavanaugh.bsky.social for the great 🧵 on #tricellular vertices - we love these dots, too! They sense and integrate forces and maintain epithelial barriers tight, but can also be opened and turned into gateways for paracellular transport.

Eager to uncover what 2025 has in store... a stellar future lies ahead for microscopy in the Münster Imaging Network @unimuenster.bsky.social @sfb1348.bsky.social

New work by Thea Jacobs from my lab @sfb1348.bsky.social @unimuenster.bsky.social shows how actomyosin contractility at #tricellular junctions is modulated to control epithelial permeability in #Drosophila. See our preprint
