Mechanical loading of desmosomes depends on the magnitude and orientation of external stress
Desmosomes are intercellular adhesion complexes that connect the intermediate filament cytoskeletons of neighboring cells but direct evidence for their load-bearing nature is lacking. Here the authors develop FRET-based tension sensors to measure the forces experienced by desmoplakin and infer that...
