Cell Pattern Formations

Caption

(Left) Cells which express different cadherins separate into groups by type. (Middle) Cells with different nectins interact strongly with each other and different types mix to create a mosaic pattern. Inner ear cells follow this pattern. (Right) Cells with different types of cadherins and nectins make a mosaic pattern through partial mingling. Olfactory epithelium cells follow this pattern.
