    Erk regulation of actin capping and bundling by Eps8 promotes cortex tension and leader bleb-based migration

    Jeremy S Logue, Alexander X Cartagena-Rivera ... Clare M Waterman
    Eps8, a specific effector of oncogenic signaling, organizes the cortical actin cytoskeleton of cancer cells to promote mechanical properties that favor a newly identified mode of confined, adhesion-independent cell migration.

    Supracellular organization confers directionality and mechanical potency to migrating pairs of cardiopharyngeal progenitor cells

    Yelena Y Bernadskaya, Haicen Yue ... Alex Mogilner
    The migrating pair of cardiac progenitors in the chordate Ciona robusta is the simplest possible supracellular cell collective whose organization helps them overcome resistance from surrounding embryonic tissues during cell migration.

    TMEM87a/Elkin1, a component of a novel mechanoelectrical transduction pathway, modulates melanoma adhesion and migration

    Amrutha Patkunarajah, Jeffrey H Stear ... Kate Poole
    A novel mechanoelectrical transduction pathway can regulate the interactions of melanoma cells and their surrounding microenvironment, impacting both migration and cell dissociation from organotypic spheroids.

    Macrophage network dynamics depend on haptokinesis for optimal local surveillance

    Neil Paterson, Tim Lämmermann
    Macrophages use integrin-dependent 3D movement and cell protrusiveness, which control cell motility and space exploration as a prerequisite for optimal clearance of particles and dead cells by macrophage networks.

    Cas phosphorylation regulates focal adhesion assembly

    Saurav Kumar, Amanda Stainer ... Jonathan A Cooper
    A novel two-step model for integrin activation primed by Cas during cell migration and spreading on multiple extracellular matrix ligands.

    N-cadherin directs the collective Schwann cell migration required for nerve regeneration through Slit2/3-mediated contact inhibition of locomotion

    Julian JA Hoving, Elizabeth Harford-Wright ... Alison C Lloyd
    N-cadherin and Slit2/3/Robo interactions provide the outward force to drive collective Schwann cell migration during nerve regeneration, identifying a dual role for N-cadherin in both adhesion and repulsion processes during Schwann cell collective migration.

    CD31 signaling promotes the detachment at the uropod of extravasating neutrophils allowing their migration to sites of inflammation

    Francesco Andreata, Marc Clément ... Giuseppina Caligiuri
    CD31 plays a pivotal role in neutrophil migration to inflamed sites by localizing to the uropod and promoting effective actin/integrin polarization and detachment, shedding light on the molecular mechanisms underlying extravasation and inflammation response.

    Robo functions as an attractive cue for glial migration through SYG-1/Neph

    Zhongwei Qu, Albert Zhang, Dong Yan
    An extracellular cleavage fragment of Robo released from neurons can bind to glia-expressed SYG-1 to guide glia migration.

    Binding blockade between TLN1 and integrin β1 represses triple-negative breast cancer

    Yixiao Zhang, Lisha Sun ... Caigang Liu
    The upregulation of TLN1 contributes to the metastasis of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), and a small-molecule C67399 was screened for blocking TLN1 and integrin β1 may hold promise for the treatment of TNBC.

    Calcium-stimulated disassembly of focal adhesions mediated by an ORP3/IQSec1 complex

    Ryan S D'Souza, Jun Y Lim ... James E Casanova
    Calcium influx stimulates formation of ER/plasma membrane contacts adjacent to focal adhesions, and lipid transfer at these sites is required for adhesion disassembly during cell migration.
