Live imaging molecular changes in junctional tension upon VE-cadherin in zebrafish

Mechanical forces play a crucial role during morphogenesis, but how these are sensed and transduced in vivo is not fully understood. Here the authors apply a FRET tension sensor to live zebrafish and study changes in VE-cadherin tension at endothelial cell-cell junctions during arterial maturation.
