HMP-1/α-catenin promotes junctional mechanical integrity during morphogenesis.

HMP-1/α-catenin promotes junctional mechanical integrity during morphogenesis.

Adherens junctions (AJs) are key structures regulating tissue integrity and maintaining adhesion between cells. During morphogenesis, junctional proteins cooperate closely with the actomyosin network to drive cell movement and shape changes. How the junctions integrate the mechanical forces in space...
