A mechanical model of early somite segmentation

ISCIENCE, 24(4).

TL;DR: A corresponding mechanical model of epithelial segmentation in early somitogenesis is developed in which a wave of apical constriction leads to increasing tension and periodic failure of adhesion junctions within the dorsal epithelial layer of the PSM, forming clefts which determine the eventual somite boundaries.

Plastin and spectrin cooperate to stabilize the actomyosin cortex during cytokinesis

CURRENT BIOLOGY, 31(24), 5415-+.

MeSH headings : Actins / metabolism; Actomyosin / metabolism; Animals; Caenorhabditis elegans / metabolism; Cytokinesis; Membrane Glycoproteins; Microfilament Proteins; Spectrin / genetics
TL;DR: These findings provide the first evidence that spectrin contributes to cytokinesis and highlight the importance of crosslinker interplay for actomyosin network integrity. (via Semantic Scholar)
