Cardiac desmosomal adhesion relies on ideal-, slip- and catch bonds
Abstract The cardiac muscle consists of individual cardiomyocytes that are mechanically linked by desmosomes. Desmosomal adhesion is mediated by densely packed and organized cadherins which, in presence of Ca2+, stretch out their extracellular domains (EC) and dimerize with opposing binding partners...
