Mechanobiology: Forging a strong matrix at tendons
Résumé
Nature faces the challenge of stably attaching soft muscles to a stiff skeleton. A new study combines live imaging and fly genetics to reveal that mechanical tension and a putative intracellular chaperone assist in assembling the gigantic extracellular matrix protein Dumpy at fly tendon–skeleton interfaces.
