Coalignment of plasma membrane channels and protrusions (fibripositors) specifies the parallelism of tendon

The functional properties of tendon require an extracellular matrix (ECM) rich in elongated collagen fibrils in parallel register. We sought to understand how embryonic fibroblasts elaborate this exquisite arrangement of fibrils. We show that procollagen processing and collagen fibrillogenesis are i...
