Dynamic myosin phosphorylation regulates contractile pulses and tissue integrity during epithelial morphogenesis by Tworoger, Michael B., Vasquez, Claudia G, Martin, Adam C

“…It is not understood whether Myo-II phosphoregulation organizes contractile pulses or whether pulses are important for tissue morphogenesis. Here, we show that Myo-II pulses are associated with pulses of apical Rok. …”
