Abstract
The balance of cohesion and remodelling is essential for the integrity and morphogenesis of epithelia. This requires adhesion and transmission of actomyosin tension, both of which are mediated by E-cadherin. The finding that actomyosin tension reinforces mechanical coupling of actin to E-cadherin through alpha-catenin reveals similarities with integrin regulation.Entities:
