Abstract: Significance Contractile movements in the mammalian intestine typically rely on dedicated muscle cells. Here, we however show that untransformed intestinal epithelial cell layers initiate immediate focal contractions, affecting hundreds to thousands of epithelial cells, in… read more here.
