Reduced cell-substrate adhesion formation promotes cell migration in Dictyostelium

The paper shows that reducing cell-substrate adhesion in Dictyostelium increases migration speed, challenging the conventional focal adhesion model.

Focal adhesion-based cell migration is differentially regulated in vivo versus in vitro by Paxillin phosphorylation

This study compares Paxillin phosphorylation regulation in vivo and in vitro during cell migration, finding differential effects on cell movement in zebrafish and mouse models.

Laterally transferred macrophage mitochondria acts as a signaling source promoting cancer cell proliferation

The paper shows that dysfunctional macrophage mitochondria transferred to cancer cells promote proliferation via ROS-induced ERK signaling.

Proteolysis-free cell migration through crowded environments via mechanical worrying

The paper shows amoeboid melanoma cells migrate through crowded environments by mechanically degrading extracellular matrix via bleb-driven abrading, without proteolysis.

Msp1/ATAD1 restores mitochondrial function in Zellweger Spectrum Disease

The paper investigates peroxisomal dysfunction in Zellweger Spectrum Disease and shows that overexpressing ATAD1 restores mitochondrial function in patient-derived fibroblasts.
