Distinct contributions of tensile and shear stress on E-cadherin levels during morphogenesis
The effects of mechanical forces, generated by actomyosin contractility, on E-cadherin based cell adhesion are poorly characterized in vivo. Here, the authors report that normal stress increases E-cadherin levels, whereas shear stress reduces E-Cadherin levels, in the developing Drosophila embryo.
