Cytoplasmic localization of GRHL3 upon epidermal differentiation triggers cell shape change for epithelial morphogenesis

The transcription factor Grhl3 is known to play a role in the nucleus during epidermal differentiation. Here, the authors report that Grhl3 is also cytoplasmic and membrane-localized, increasing mechanical stiffness by upregulating actomyosin networks.
