A contractile actomyosin network linked to adherens junctions by Canoe/afadin helps drive convergent extension
Coordination of adhesion and the actin cytoskeleton is critical in morphogenesis. Drosophila germband extension is a model for convergent extension. Canoe/afadin is found to have a novel role in this process. It helps to coordinate a contractile apical actomyosin network with cell shape change and r...
