A cell surface receptor called Ret enables neurons to establish and maintain the organized arrays of dendrites that support communication between neurons.

The mutual interaction between the basement membrane protein Multiplexin and the phagocytosis receptor Eater expressed by the immune cells drives the formation and maintenance of the hematopoietic tissues in Drosophila.

For the same bacterial strain, the swarming phenotype can be biophysically discerned from swimming phenotype based on the motion pattern under circular confinement on a soft agar.

p27Kip1 directly controls invadopodia turnover by promoting the interaction of PAK1 with Cortactin, which induces Cortactin phosphorylation, invadopodia disassembly and facilitates invasion through extracellular matrix.

ECM-Itgb1 signaling and cell-cell adhesion are pivotal and coordinate together to regulate pancreatic islet aggregation, architecture, and functional maturation during development.

A newly identified microtubule binding activity of NuMA is required for orienting the mitotic spindle.

Mechanotransduction signaling analysis suggests that mechanical tension can sensitize, desensitize, and reverse cell responses to biochemical agonists, as well as provide mechano-adaptive targets for regionally specific drug responses.

Fluorescence fluctuation spectroscopy is implemented for detection of up to four molecular species, allowing users to quantify molecular interactions and stoichiometry of multicomponent complexes in live cells, in a wide range of biological processes, from membrane signaling to viral assembly.

Interactions between talin1 and a cortical scaffolding protein KANK1 control microtubule stabilization in the vicinity of focal adhesions.

Distinct and direct functions of the RNA binding protein SAM68 regulate integrin signaling and focal adhesion dynamics that condition basement membrane deposition and angiogenic behavior of endothelial cells.
