Migrastatics: an overview of the current scenario and future cancer treatments

open access: yesFrontiers in Oncology
Metastasis is the main cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Thus, significant efforts have been directed towards inhibiting metastasis to avoid regrowth or relapse after cytostatic and/or cytotoxic cancer treatments. Drugs targeting cell-invasiveness

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.

The Netrin-1-Neogenin-1 signaling axis controls neuroblastoma cell migration via integrin-β1 and focal adhesion kinase activation

open access: yesCell Adhesion & Migration, 2021
Neuroblastoma is a highly metastatic tumor that emerges from neural crest cell progenitors. Focal Adhesion Kinase (FAK) is a regulator of cell migration that binds to the receptor Neogenin-1 and is upregulated in neuroblastoma.

Modelling stem cell differentiation related processes—A practical overview for biologists

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Stem cell differentiation is complex and difficult to control experimentally. This review introduces suitable computational modelling approaches that can support stem cell research, from mechanistic ODE and abstract models to multiscale and deep learning methods.

MODELLING THE INFLUENCE OF NUCLEUS ELASTICITY ON CELL INVASION IN FIBER NETWORKS AND MICROCHANNELS [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Cell migration in highly constrained extracellular matrices is exploited in scaffold-based tissue engineering and is fundamental in a wide variety of physiological and pathological phenomena, among others in cancer invasion and development. Research into

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 ...

MAGI1 localizes to mature focal adhesion and modulates endothelial cell adhesion, migration and angiogenesis

open access: yesCell Adhesion & Migration, 2021
MAGI1 is an intracellular adaptor protein that stabilizes cell junctions and regulates epithelial and endothelial integrity. Here, we report that that in endothelial cells MAGI1 colocalizes with paxillin, β3-integrin, talin 1, tensin 3 and α-4-actinin at

ABL kinase‐dependent phosphorylation of SH proteins promotes their direct interaction with CRK family SH2 domains

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
CT10 regulator of kinase (CRK) and CRK‐Like (CRKL) are signaling adaptors driving cell adhesion, motility, differentiation, and proliferation. SH2‐domain containing (SH) proteins are enriched in YXXP motifs which when phosphorylated create preferred binding sites for CRK family SH2 domains.

Decoding the dynamic extracellular matrix in cancer—3D models and bioscaffolds rewire the rules of tumor progression

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Cancer progression is regulated by the dynamic matrix code of the tumor microenvironment, which influences cellular behavior and disease development. Importantly, matrix remodeling in three‐dimensional cancer models more accurately reflects in vivo conditions compared to conventional two‐dimensional systems.

Live imaging of Drosophila gonad formation reveals roles for Six4 in regulating germline and somatic cell migration [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Background: Movement of cells, either as amoeboid individuals or in organised groups, is a key feature of organ formation. Both modes of migration occur during Drosophila embryonic gonad development, which therefore provides a paradigm for understanding ...
