“…Eph receptors and ephrins that have a high affinity for each other are expressed in complementary domains in many tissues (Cayuso et al, 2015;Gale et al, 1996;Rohani et al, 2014), such that activation of forward and reverse signaling occurs at the interface. Eph receptor and ephrin signaling can drive cell segregation and border sharpening through multiple mechanisms that likely depend upon whether the tissue is epithelial or mesenchymal: by decreasing cell-cell adhesion (Fagotto et al, 2013;Solanas et al, 2011), by increasing cortical tension (Calzolari et al, 2014;Canty et al, 2017), or by triggering cell repulsion (Poliakov et al, 2008;Rohani et al, 2011;Taylor et al, 2017;Wu et al, 2019). In addition, Eph-ephrin signaling has been found to regulate cell differentiation in a number of tissues (reviewed by (Laussu et al, 2014;Wilkinson, 2014)).…”
