Apical Sarcomere-like Actomyosin Contracts Nonmuscle Drosophila Epithelial Cells

Actomyosin networks generate contractile force that changes cell and tissue shape. In muscle cells, actin filaments and myosin II appear in a polarized structure called a sarcomere, in which myosin II is localized in the center. Nonmuscle cortical actomyosin networks are thought to contract when non...
