Back from a fruitful #HetCCI kick-off meeting in Saarbruecken, filled with data and research concepts addressing heterotypic cell-cell interactions in epithelial tissues. Special thx to the young scientists who presented; looking forward to the next events and everybody’s findings! #SPP2493

What a fantastic meeting and group of scientists! We are very much looking forward to our joint discoveries over the next years! 🥳👏
For updates and info follow @hetcci.bsky.social our official group account and @sandraiden.bsky.social our consortium speaker.
Exited for the start of our HetCCI kickstart meeting at Uni Saarbrücken.

In this consortium, labs throughout Germany focus on investigating how heterotypic cell cell interactions shape the formation and function of a wide diversity of epithelia. 🥳🧪🔬👨‍🔬
Heterotypic Cell-Cell Interactions in Epithelial Tissues (HetCCI)
The SPP 2493 is a DFG-funded consortium of 15 research projects that address roles and mechanisms of communication between epithelial cells and their non-epithelial neighbors.
