Size-Dependent Mechanoadaptation Enables Migration with Oversized Parasitic Cargo

M. J. A. Ruiz-Fernandez, J. Jang, A. Battistella, A. Mortazavi, S. van Wierst, B. Wang, A. Kuznetcov, R. Aslan, J. Merrin, D. Vorselen, J. Guck, M. Meissner, J. Periz, B. Sabass, J. Renkawitz

The paper investigates how cells adapt to transport oversized parasitic cargo by reprogramming mechanical forces and subcellular architecture during migration.

Adaptive Pathfinding by Nucleokinesis during Amoeboid Migration

J. Kroll, R. Hauschild, K. Stefanowski, M. D. Hermann, J. Merrin, L. Shafeek, A. Mueller-Taubenberger, J. Renkawitz

This study shows that amoeboid cells use nucleokinesis, a process of nuclear repositioning, to adaptively navigate heterogeneous microenvironments by reorienting between competing signals.

Microtubules control cellular shape and coherence in amoeboid migrating cells

A. Kopf, J. Renkawitz, R. Hauschild, I. Girkontaite, K. Tedford, J. Merrin, O. Thorn-Seshold, D. Trauner, H. Haecker, K. D. Fischer, E. Kiermaier, M. Sixt

This study shows that microtubules regulate protrusion retraction in migrating cells by controlling myosin II contractility through Lfc, maintaining cell shape and coherence.
