Septin inhibitors exert opposing effects on distinct higher-order septin structures in melanoma cells

Maggie M. Gravano, Leah M. Farmer, Nathaniel Richmond, Ishaan Mehta, Anushka Deshmukh, Alecxander J Lewis, Andrew D. Weems

This study evaluates three septin-targeting compounds' effects on septin structures and viability in melanoma cells, revealing divergent impacts on different septin assemblies.

In vivo evidence for bleb-induced survival signaling in metastatic melanoma

Andrew D. Weems, Md Torikul Islam, Hazel Borges, Clarence Yapp, Lizbeth Perez‐Castro, Pedro Nogueira, Jinlong Lin, Zoltan Maliga, Alecxander J Lewis, Camille Kutter, Mark Mannino, Tuulia Vallius, Sandro Santagata, Peter Karl Sorger, Maralice Conacci‐Sorrell, , Gaudenz M. Danuser

This paper shows that bleb-induced septin signaling supports survival of metastatic melanoma cells in vivo, and disrupting this pathway reduces metastasis.
