Authors Chen T, Karedla N, Enderlein J Journal Communications Biology Citation Commun Biol. 2024 Nov 30;7(1):1596. Abstract Epithelial cadherin (E-cad) mediated cell-cell junctions play a crucial role in the establishment and maintenance of tissues and organs. In this study, we employed metal-induced energy transfer imaging and spectroscopy to investigate variations
