The Tyrosine Kinase Pyk2 Promotes Migration and Invasion of Glioma Cells

open access: yesNeoplasia: An International Journal for Oncology Research, 2005
Glioblastoma multiforme is extraordinarily aggressive due to the propensity of cells to migrate away from the tumor core into the surrounding normal brain.

Hypoxia regulates human mast cell adhesion to fibronectin via the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway

open access: yesCell Adhesion & Migration, 2020
A decrease in oxygen concentration is a hallmark of inflammatory reactions resulting from infection or homeostasis disorders. Mast cells interact with extracellular matrix and other cells by adhesion receptors.

Modelling cell movement and chemotaxis pseudopod based feedback [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
A computational framework is presented for the simulation of eukaryotic cell migration and chemotaxis. An empirical pattern formation model, based on a system of non-linear reaction-diffusion equations, is approximated on an evolving cell boundary using ...

Intermediate filaments promote glioblastoma cell invasion by controlling nuclear deformations and mechanosensitive expression of MMP14

open access: yesCell Reports
Summary: Glioblastoma (GBM), the most aggressive primary brain tumor, is marked by high invasiveness that enables resistance to current therapies. Single-cell RNA sequencing analysis reveals that elevated expression of glial intermediate filament (IF ...

The focal adhesion protein Integrin-Linked Kinase (ILK) as an important player in breast cancer pathogenesis

open access: yesCell Adhesion & Migration, 2020
Cell-extracellular matrix interactions, or focal adhesions (FA), are crucial for tissue homeostasis but are also implicated in cancer. Integrin-Linked Kinase (ILK) is an abundantly expressed FA protein involved in multiple signaling pathways.

Transplantation stimulates interstitial cell migration in hydra [PDF]

open access: yes, 1990
Migration of interstitial cells and nerve cell precursors was analyzed in Hydra magnipapillata and Hydra vulgaris (formerly Hydra attenuata). Axial grafts were made between [3H]thymidine-labeled donor and unlabeled host tissue. Migration of labeled cells

Supracellular migration – beyond collective cell migration [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Cell Science, 2019
ABSTRACT Collective cell migration is a highly complex process in which groups of cells move together. A fundamental question is how cell ensembles can migrate efficiently. In some cases, the group is no more than a collection of individual cells.

Collective cell durotaxis emerges from long-range intercellular force transmission [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The ability of cells to follow gradients of extracellular matrix stiffness—durotaxis—has been implicated in development, fibrosis, and cancer. Here, we found multicellular clusters that exhibited durotaxis even if isolated constituent cells did not. This

Repurposing Albendazole: new potential as a chemotherapeutic agent with preferential activity against HPV-negative head and neck squamous cell cancer. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Albendazole is an anti-helminthic drug that has been shown to exhibit anti-cancer properties, however its activity in head and neck squamous cell cancer (HNSCC) was unknown.

Microtubule destabilization is a critical checkpoint of chemotaxis and transendothelial migration in melanoma cells but not in T cells

open access: yesCell Adhesion & Migration, 2021
Microtubules (MTs) control cell shape and intracellular cargo transport. The role of MT turnover in the migration of slow-moving cells through endothelial barriers remains unclear.
