The paper shows that two classes of myosins organize distinct membrane domains through active forces, enabling spatial segregation of nanoclusters and modulating information transduction.

This study shows melanoblasts use atypical E-cadherin attachments to migrate through epithelial layers without disrupting the barrier.

The paper introduces a mouse model with fluorescently labeled collagen IV to study basement membrane dynamics during skin development and finds that BMs deform rather than lose adhesion during cell division.

The paper shows that phosphorylation of a specific tyrosine in Vang/Vangl regulates its interaction with Pk and Dsh/Dvl, promoting the formation of the Vang/Vangl-Pk complex during PCP establishment.
