Integrins regulate epithelial cell shape by controlling the architecture and mechanical properties of basal actomyosin networks.
Forces generated by the actomyosin cytoskeleton are key contributors to many morphogenetic processes. The actomyosin cytoskeleton organises in different types of networks depending on intracellular signals and on cell-cell and cell-extracellular matrix (ECM) interactions. However, actomyosin network...
