The sense of smell is mediated by the olfactory epithelium, which is composed of a mosaic pattern of olfactory sensory cells surrounded by supporting cells. In this issue, Katsunuma et al. (2016. J. Cell Biol. http://dx.doi.org/10.1083/jcb.201509020) show that the differential expression of nectins and cadherins establishes this pattern.
嗅觉由嗅觉上皮介导,嗅觉上皮由嗅觉感觉细胞的镶嵌模式组成,周围环绕着支持细胞。在本期中,胜沼等人(2016年。《细胞生物学杂志》。http://dx.doi.org/10.1083/jcb.201509020)表明, nectins和钙黏着蛋白的差异表达建立了这种模式。
