A new study from the @maizel-lab.org, @dolfweijers.bsky.social, and @roelandmerks.bsky.social labs starting to unravel a role of SOSEKI proteins in cellular mechanosensing.
New preprint!
SOSEKI polarity proteins are mechanoresponsive integrators linking growth and tissue mechanics during lateral root formation. Their polarity marks growth boundaries and reorganises in response to mechanical alterations —reshaping how we think about axis formation.
