This paper develops a BSL-2-compatible intravital imaging protocol to visualize early Mycobacterium tuberculosis interactions with murine lung macrophages in real time.

This paper shows that FAK inhibition remodels the metastatic ECM, enhancing CD8+ T cell infiltration and immunosurveillance in breast cancer.

This study identifies MenaINV as essential for breast cancer stem cell extravasation but not survival, revealing distinct pathways for metastatic dominance.

This study identifies TMEM doorways as a mechanism for metastasis in PDAC, showing Tie2 macrophages facilitate intravasation and that targeting Tie2 improves survival in mouse models.
