  1. My Dresden colleagues have recently published a paper.

    Carlotta Mayer (@c_ma_yer on the cross site) shows that #hepatocytes react to increased #bile #pressure by forming the #apical projections called bulkheads. This is also observed in #human #liver when bile pressure is increased to a pathological level. Upon further increase of bile pressure, bulkheads no longer hold the #canaliculi shape and form #rosettes.

  2. New paper from the Zerial Lab!

    My colleagues and I have shown that apical projections across the bile canaliculi are load-bearing structures. These structures contribute to sustaining the anisotropic #growth of the nascent tube under increased intraluminal #pressure during #liver #development. These structures are supported by adherens #junctions and sealed by tight junctions.
    I believe only @nunopmartins is here but if I am mistaken please tag any other author.
