The lamellipodium is a myosin independent mechanosensor

P. W. Oakes, T. C. Bidone, Y. Beckham, A. V. Skeeters, G. R. Ramirez-San Juan, S. P. Winter, G. A. Voth, M. L. Gardel

This paper shows that cell spreading on soft substrates is inhibited by reduced adhesion formation in the lamellipodium, independent of myosin II activity.

Formin-Dependent Adhesions Are Required For Invasion By Epithelial Tissues

T. B. Fessenden, Y. Beckham, M. Perez-Neut, A. H. Chourasia, K. F. Macleod, P. W. Oakes, M. L. Gardel

This study shows that formin-dependent adhesions are essential for epithelial tissue invasion, as they enable collagen deformation and stable adhesion formation during collective motility.
