Super-resolution imaging reveals stretch-induced architectural rearrangement of desmoplakin in desmosomes

Desmosomes are intercellular junctions that confer mechanical resilience to tissues including the heart, epidermis, and other epithelial tissues. Central to this function is the plakin protein desmoplakin (DP), which anchors the desmosomal plaque to the keratin...
