Rho GTPases: Regulation and roles in cancer cell biology

RB Haga, AJ Ridley - Small GTPases, 2016 - Taylor & Francis
Rho GTPases are well known for their roles in regulating cell migration, and also contribute
to a variety of other cellular responses. They are subdivided into 2 groups: typical and …

[HTML][HTML] Nuclear positioning

GG Gundersen, HJ Worman - Cell, 2013 - cell.com
The nucleus is the largest organelle and is commonly depicted in the center of the cell. Yet
during cell division, migration, and differentiation, it frequently moves to an asymmetric …

Nuclear positioning facilitates amoeboid migration along the path of least resistance

J Renkawitz, A Kopf, J Stopp, I de Vries, MK Driscoll… - Nature, 2019 - nature.com

Microtubules in cell migration

S Etienne-Manneville - Annual review of cell and …, 2013 - annualreviews.org
Migration is a polarized cellular process that opposes a protrusive front edge to a retracting
trailing edge. From the front to the rear, actin-mediated forces sequentially promote cell …

Microtubules in cell migration

C Garcin, A Straube - Essays in biochemistry, 2019 - portlandpress.com
Directed cell migration is critical for embryogenesis and organ development, wound healing
and the immune response. Microtubules are dynamic polymers that control directional …

Microtubule-organizing centers

J Wu, A Akhmanova - Annual review of cell and developmental …, 2017 - annualreviews.org

Neutrophils—from bone marrow to first-line defense of the innate immune system

RF Kraus, MA Gruber - Frontiers in immunology, 2021 - frontiersin.org
Neutrophils (polymorphonuclear cells; PMNs) form a first line of defense against pathogens
and are therefore an important component of the innate immune response. As a result of …

[HTML][HTML] Generation and regulation of microtubule network asymmetry to drive cell polarity

JCM Meiring, BI Shneyer, A Akhmanova - Current opinion in cell biology, 2020 - Elsevier
Microtubules control cell architecture by serving as a scaffold for intracellular transport,
signaling, and organelle positioning. Microtubules are intrinsically polarized, and their …

The neutrophil nucleus: an important influence on neutrophil migration and function

HR Manley, MC Keightley, GJ Lieschke - Frontiers in immunology, 2018 - frontiersin.org
Neutrophil nuclear morphology has historically been used in haematology for neutrophil
identification and characterisation, but its exact role in neutrophil function has remained …

Polarized actin and VE-cadherin dynamics regulate junctional remodelling and cell migration during sprouting angiogenesis

J Cao, M Ehling, S März, J Seebach… - Nature …, 2017 - nature.com
VEGFR-2/Notch signalling regulates angiogenesis in part by driving the remodelling of
endothelial cell junctions and by inducing cell migration. Here, we show that VEGF-induced …
