Tricellulin secures the epithelial barrier at tricellular junctions by interacting with actomyosin

Cho et al. revealed that tricellulin links tricellular junction–specific tight junction strands, the central sealing elements, with F-actin anchored end-on to tricellular junctions. This enables the converging central sealing elements to remain in proximity, which effectively closes the gap between three epithelial cells.
