Emergence of periodic circumferential actin cables from the anisotropic fusion of actin nanoclusters during tubulogenesis
Abstract The periodic circumferential cytoskeleton supports various tubular tissues. Radial expansion of the tube lumen causes anisotropic tensile stress, which can be exploited as a geometric cue. However, the molecular machinery linking anisotropy to robust circumferential patterning is poorly und...
