The integration of cytoskeletal/adhesive networks is critical to epithelial mechanobiology. In this issue, Prechova et al. (2022. J. Cell Biol.https://doi.org/10.1083/jcb.202105146) demonstrate that the cytolinker protein plectin is essential for the construction of a cortical cytoskeletal architecture required for epithelial tensional homeostasis.
细胞骨架/黏附网络的整合对于上皮细胞的机械生物学至关重要。在本期杂志中,Prechova 等人(2022.《细胞生物学杂志》https://doi.org/10.1083/jcb.202105146)表明,细胞连接蛋白 plectin 对于构建上皮细胞张力平衡所需的皮质细胞骨架结构是必不可少的。
