Synaptopodin enables directional mechanoadaptation of integrin-based adhesions

Chengqing Qu, Yuxuan Huang, Shumeng Jiang…·Hani Y. Suleiman

The paper shows synaptopodin enables cells to adapt their adhesion structures to resist perpendicular forces by reorganizing the actin cytoskeleton and integrin-based adhesions.
