title: Cytoskeletal connections: building strong cells in new ways.
abstract: Cell and tissue integrity requires the coordination of actin and microtubules and the linkage of these cytoskeletal elements to cell junctions. New findings reveal that the cytoskeletal linker protein Short stop works with EB1 and APC1 to help carry out this function.
