TL;DR: A suspended cell doublet assay is devised to quantitatively assess the correlation between myosin II activity and local E-cadherin recruitment and exemplify how the regulation of actin dynamics provides a mechanism for the mechanosensitive response of cell contacts.

TL;DR: This paper presents a simple, rapid and reliable technique to fabricate thin layers of UV curable polymer with through holes that allows highly reproducible and highly homogeneous protein patterning with micron sized resolution on surfaces as large as 10 cm2.

TL;DR: It is shown that cancer cells retain EphA clustering phenotype over several generations, and the degree of clustering reported for migration potential both at population and single-cell levels, and an assay to quantify the clustering of Eph receptor Eph a2 upon ligand binding is developed, based on the scoring of single cells.

TL;DR: It is found that cancer cells retained EphA clustering phenotype upon cell division for several generations and degree of clustering reported for population as well as single-cell migration potential.
