Do adherens junctions connect stress fibres between adjacent endothelial cells?
Our results indicate that stress fibres from neighbouring cells are physically connected through discontinuous AJ, and that stress fibres can be stabilized by AJ-associated multi-protein complexes distinct from focal adhesions.
GS newborns who require fascial extension are more likely to have complicated GS and are at greater risk for adverse outcome, although it is not an independent predictor of the latter.
