Bridging scales for cellular communities. Angela K.O. Lwin and Alpha S. Yap (The University of Queensland) discuss new work by Soffer et al. (rupress.org/jcb/article/...) in Spotlight: rupress.org/jcb/article/...

#Cytoskeleton #Spectrin #Actin #Myosin

Spotlight: Lwin and Yap highlight work from Soffer and colleagues (rupress.org/jcb/article/...), which suggests that #spectrin mediates the integration of transitions in cell shape with spatial organization signaling by acting as an organizer of the #actomyosin cortex. rupress.org/jcb/article/...

Spotlight @jcb.org: Lwin and Yap highlight work from Soffer et al.(rupress.org/jcb/article/...), which suggests that #spectrin mediates the integration of transitions in cell shape with spatial organization signaling by acting as an organizer of the #actomyosin cortex. rupress.org/jcb/article/...

#Spectrin coordinates cell shape and signaling essential for epidermal differentiation, say Arad Soffer, Aishwarya Bhosale, Carien M. Niessen, Chen Luxenburg, Matthias Rübsam @unicologne.bsky.social and colleagues: rupress.org/jcb/article/...

#CellSignaling #Development #Cytoskeleton

Soffer, Bhosale, Niessen, Luxenburg, Rübsam @unicologne.bsky.social et al. identify #spectrin as a central component of epithelial cortical #actomyosin networks to control cortex mechanics and signaling. rupress.org/jcb/article/...
