Mechanical forces in extendable tissue matrix orient cell divisions via microtubule stabilization in Arabidopsis

The paper shows mechanical forces from tissue extension stabilize microtubules to orient cell divisions in Arabidopsis roots after wounding.

Tension-dependent stabilization of E-cadherin limits cell-cell contact expansion

The paper shows that cortical tension stabilizes E-cadherin at cell-cell contacts, limiting contact expansion beyond a critical tension threshold.
