Abstract
Cellular contractility, driven by actomyosin networks coupled to cadherin cell-cell adhesion junctions, is a major determinant of cellular rearrangement during morphogenesis. It now emerges that contractility arises as the emergent property of a mechanochemical feedback system that encompasses the signals that regulate contractility and the elements of the actomyosin network itself.Entities:
