MASTL promotes cell contractility and motility through kinase-independent signaling by Maria Emilia Taskinen et al.
Microtubule-associated serine/threonine-protein kinase-like (MASTL) is a mitosis-accelerating kinase with emerging roles in cancer progression. However, possible cell cycle-independent mechanisms behind its oncogenicity remain ambiguous. Here,…

68Ga-DOTA-E[c(RGDfK)]2 PET Imaging of SHARPIN-Regulated Integrin Activity in Mice by Riikka Siitonen et al.
Shank-associated RH domain-interacting protein (SHARPIN) is a cytosolic protein that plays a key role in activation of nuclear factor κ-light-chain enhancer of activated B cells…
-
Integrin signaling and mechanotransduction in regulation of somatic stem cells by Aleksi Isomursu et al.
Somatic stem cells are characterized by their capacity for self-renewal and differentiation, making them integral for normal tissue homeostasis. Different stem cell functions are strongly…

Author Correction: Every step of the way: integrins in cancer progression and metastasis by Hellyeh Hamidi et al.
In the originally published article, pertuzumab was incorrectly described as an anti-PI3K therapy in the section ‘Integrins in anticancer therapy’. The sentence should read ‘In…
-
Filopodome Mapping Identifies p130Cas as a Mechanosensitive Regulator of Filopodia Stability by Guillaume Jacquemet et al.
Filopodia are adhesive cellular protrusions specialized in the detection of extracellular matrix (ECM)-derived cues. Although ECM engagement at focal adhesions is known to trigger the…
-
Integrin trafficking in cells and tissues by Paulina Moreno-Layseca et al.
Cell adhesion to the extracellular matrix is fundamental to metazoan multicellularity and is accomplished primarily through the integrin family of cell-surface receptors. Integrins are internalized…
