Basal actomyosin pulses expand epithelium coordinating cell flattening and tissue elongation
Abstract Actomyosin networks constrict cell area and junctions to alter cell and tissue shape. However, during cell expansion under mechanical stress, actomyosin networks are strengthened and polarized to relax stress. Thus, cells face a conflicting situation between the enhanced actomyosin contract...
