Neogenin recruitment of the WAVE regulatory complex maintains adherens junction stability and tension

The stability of epithelial adherens junctions depends on tension generated by actomyosin contractility. Here Lee et al. describe a novel role for the axon guidance receptor Neogenin in maintaining junctional stability by recruiting actin nucleation machinery to adherens junctions.
