Loss of contact inhibition of locomotion in the absence of JAM-A promotes entotic cell engulfment
iScience, 2022 Summary: Entosis is a cell competition process during which tumor cells engulf other tumor cells. It is initiated by metabolic stress or by loss of matrix adhesion, and it provides the winning cell with resources derived from the internalized cell. Using

Human Microphysiological Models of Intestinal Tissue and Gut Microbiome
Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2020 The gastrointestinal (GI) tract is a complex system responsible for nutrient absorption, digestion, secretion, and elimination of waste products that also hosts immune surveillance, the intestinal microbiome, and interfaces with the nervous system ...

YAP regulates cell mechanics by controlling focal adhesion assembly
Nature Communications, 2017 Hippo effectors YAP/TAZ act as on–off mechanosensing switches by sensing modifications in extracellular matrix (ECM) composition and mechanics. The regulation of their activity has been described by a hierarchical model in which elements of Hippo pathway

A role for GLUT3 in glioblastoma cell invasion that is not recapitulated by GLUT1
Cell Adhesion & Migration, 2021 The multifaceted roles of metabolism in invasion have been investigated across many cancers. The brain tumor glioblastoma (GBM) is a highly invasive and metabolically plastic tumor with an inevitable recurrence. The neuronal glucose transporter 3 (GLUT3)

Cell adhesive peptides functionalized on CoCr alloy stimulate endothelialization and prevent thrombogenesis and restenosis [PDF]
, 2017 Immobilization of bioactive peptide sequences on CoCr surfaces is an effective route to improve endothelialization, which is of great interest for cardiovascular stents. In this work, we explored the effect of physical and covalent immoblization of RGDS,

The Rac3 GTPase in Neuronal Development, Neurodevelopmental Disorders, and Cancer
Cells, 2019 Rho family small guanosine triphosphatases (GTPases) are important regulators of the cytoskeleton, and are critical in many aspects of cellular and developmental biology, as well as in pathological processes such as intellectual disability and cancer. Of

Role of laminin and cognate receptors in cholangiocarcinoma cell migration
Cell Adhesion & Migration, 2021 Extensive desmoplasia in cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is associated with tumor aggressiveness, indicating a need for further understanding of CCA cell–matrix interaction.
