Strength dependence of cadherin-mediated adhesions.
Traction forces between adhesive cells play an important role in a number of collective cell processes. Intercellular contacts, in particular cadherin-based intercellular junctions, are the major means of transmitting force within tissues. We investigated the effect of cellular tension on the formation of cadherin-cadherin contacts by spreading cells on substrates with tunable stiffness coated ...
متن کاملCadherin-based intercellular adhesions organize epithelial cell-matrix traction forces.
Cell-cell and cell-matrix adhesions play essential roles in the function of tissues. There is growing evidence for the importance of cross talk between these two adhesion types, yet little is known about the impact of these interactions on the mechanical coupling of cells to the extracellular matrix (ECM). Here, we combine experiment and theory to reveal how intercellular adhesions modulate for...
متن کاملSolidify Your Retail POS Devices
The retail industry is being revolutionized by the movement in consumer perception of shopping exemplified by “Shopping is Theater”. Increasingly, consumers are expecting shopping to be a highly interactive and rewarding experience. This has been driving the need for reduced time to market of newer retailing ideas, and the use of advances in hardware and software technologies to create a richer...
متن کاملCell–Cell Contact: Cooperating Clusters of Actin and Cadherin
Cooperation between cadherins and actin critically influences tissue organization. A new report identifies distinct pools of actin filaments that influence the spatial distribution of cadherins at cell-cell contacts.
متن کاملVascular endothelial-cadherin regulates cytoskeletal tension, cell spreading, and focal adhesions by stimulating RhoA.
Changes in vascular endothelial (VE)-cadherin-mediated cell-cell adhesion and integrin-mediated cell-matrix adhesion coordinate to affect the physical and mechanical rearrangements of the endothelium, although the mechanisms for such cross talk remain undefined. Herein, we describe the regulation of focal adhesion formation and cytoskeletal tension by intercellular VE-cadherin engagement, and t...
