Reversibility of Nuclear and 3D Genomic Changes in Non-Cancerous Fibroblasts After Constricted Migration

Christopher Playter, Samuel John Benson, Renata Dos Reis Marques, Preston Young, Timothy B. Simmons, Kathryn Perry, Amanda Swets, Amit S. Joshi, Rachel Patton McCord

This study shows that non-cancerous fibroblasts experience reversible nuclear and 3D genomic changes after constricted migration, unlike stable changes in cancer cells.

Deciphering Pre-existing and Induced 3D Genome Architecture Changes involved in Constricted Melanoma Migration

Christopher Playter, Rosela Golloshi, Joshua H. Garretson, Alvaro Rodriguez Gonzalez, Taiwo Habeeb Olajide, Ahmed Saad, Samuel John Benson, Rachel Patton McCord

The paper identifies 3D genome architecture changes in melanoma cells before and after constricted migration, linking them to migration ability and cell fate changes.
