Lateral junction dynamics lead the way out

Martin Behrndt et al. Nat Cell Biol. 2014 Feb.

Abstract

Epithelial cell layers need to be tightly regulated to maintain their integrity and correct function. Cell integration into epithelial sheets is now shown to depend on the N-WASP-regulated stabilization of cortical F-actin, which generates distinct patterns of apical-lateral contractility at E-cadherin-based cell-cell junctions.
