Journal ArticleDOI

The extracellular matrix at a glance

TL;DR: The extracellular matrix is the non-cellular component present within all tissues and organs, and provides not only essential physical scaffolding for the cellular constituents but also initiates crucial biochemical and biomechanical cues that are required for tissue development.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cofilin is a pH sensor for actin free barbed end formation: role of phosphoinositide binding.

TL;DR: A molecular mechanism whereby cofilin acts as a pH sensor to mediate a pH-dependent actin filament dynamics is suggested, which suggests that it has a more complex behavior in cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

A physical sciences network characterization of non-tumorigenic and metastatic cells

David B. Agus, +99 more

TL;DR: Comparisons of the non-tumorigenic MCF-10A and metastatic MDA-MB-231 breast epithelial cell lines, commonly used as models of cancer metastasis, reveal dramatic differences in their mechanics, migration, adhesion, oxygen response, and proteomic profiles.

Positive feedback between Cdc42 activity and H+ efflux by the Na-H exchanger NHE1 for polarity of migrating cells

TL;DR: Data indicate that GEF binding to phosphotidylinositol 4,5–bisphosphate is pH dependent, suggesting a mechanism for how H+ efflux by NHE1 promotes Cdc42 activity to generate a positive feedback signal necessary for polarity in migrating cells.
