Force measurements in E-cadherin–mediated cell doublets reveal rapid adhesion strengthened by actin cytoskeleton remodeling through Rac and Cdc42

We have used a modified, dual pipette assay to quantify the strength of cadherin-dependent cell–cell adhesion. The force required to separate E-cadherin–expressing paired cells in suspension was measured as an index of intercellular adhesion. Separation force depended on the homophilic interaction o...
