Feedback between mechanosensitive signaling and active forces governs endothelial junction integrity

Gap formation in the vasculature underpins immune and tumour cell infiltration. Here the authors propose a chemo-mechanical model to analyse how feedback between mechanosensitive signalling, active cellular forces and adhesion governs the breakdown, recovery, and integrity of endothelial junctions.
