Figure 2. case studies of complementary and contradictory multiplexed cell-cell interactions.
(Left) schematic of sensory cell sorting within the olfactory epithelium as described in (29). The three classes of cell-cell interaction are ordered in descending adhesion strength, and the resulting pattern is shown on the right.
(Right) schematic of how contradictory cues of repulsion (ephrins) and adhesion (cadherins) can synergize to produce a stable, sharp border between tissues without allowing cell mixing, as described in (18).
