Abstrakt: Force transmission at cell-cell junctions critically regulates embryogenesis, tissue homeostasis, and diseases including cancer. The cadherin-catenin linkage has been considered the keystone of junctional force transmission, but new findings challenge this paradigm, arguing instead that the nectin-afadin linkage plays the more important role in mature junctions in the intestinal epithelium.
