Generation of stress fibers through myosin-driven reorganization of the actin cortex

Generation of stress fibers through myosin-driven reorganization of the actin cortex

Contractile actomyosin bundles, stress fibers, govern key cellular processes including migration, adhesion, and mechanosensing. Stress fibers are thus critical for developmental morphogenesis. The most prominent actomyosin bundles, ventral stress fibers, are generated through coalescence of pre-exis...
