A mechanobiological perspective on cadherins and the actin-myosin cytoskeleton

Classical cadherin receptors mediate morphogenetic cell-cell interactions within many tissues of the body. Their biological impact often entails cooperation between cadherin adhesion and the actin cytoskeleton, but how this may occur and – even more urgently – how this leads to morphogenetic outcome...
