An optochemical tool for light-induced dissociation of adherens junctions to control mechanical coupling between cells

Adherens junctions (AJs) mediate cell-cell adhesion between epithelial cells but tools to study their dynamic regulation are lacking. Here the authors develop an optochemical tool to stimulate the assembly of AJs through addition of a photocleavable tool and their dissociation upon exposure to light...
