Structural studies demonstrate that myosin generates forces that cause structural changes in actin, modulating cooperative binding by α-catenin and thus signal transduction and intercellular communica...

Tailoring genetic fusions of widely used actin localization reporters by constraining the mobility of the fluorescent proteins allows measurements of actin filament organization in living cells and ti...

Differences in force transmission capabilities between competing cells create large stress fluctuation at their interface, resulting in upward forces and cell elimination, which might have implication...

Vinculin is a mechanotransducer that reinforces links between cell adhesions and linear arrays of actin filaments upon myosin-mediated contractility. Both adhesions to the substratum and neighboring c...
