Focal adhesion size uniquely predicts cell migration
Focal adhesions are large protein complexes organized at the basal surface of cells, which
physically connect the extracellular matrix to the cytoskeleton and have long been …

Enucleated cells reveal differential roles of the nucleus in cell migration, polarity, and mechanotransduction
The nucleus has long been postulated to play a critical physical role during cell polarization
and migration, but that role has not been defined or rigorously tested. Here, we enucleated …

The distinct roles of the nucleus and nucleus-cytoskeleton connections in three-dimensional cell migration
Cells often migrate in vivo in an extracellular matrix that is intrinsically three-dimensional
(3D) and the role of actin filament architecture in 3D cell migration is less well understood …

Tight coupling between nucleus and cell migration through the perinuclear actin cap
Eukaryotic cells alternate between episodes of fast and persistent movements and
“hesitation” episodes of low speed and low persistence. Unlike the well-understood tumbling …

Biophysical and biomolecular determination of cellular age in humans
Ageing research has focused either on assessing organ-and tissue-based changes, such as
lung capacity and cardiac function, or on changes at the molecular scale such as gene …
