TL;DR: The structure and composition of podosomes and also their functions in various cell types of both myeloid and endothelial lineage are reviewed and the emerging idea that podosome can sense matrix stiffness and enable cells to respond to their environment is discussed.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated for the first time a fundamental requirement for podosomes in megakaryocyte process extension across a basement membrane, and the results suggest that podosome may have a role in proplatelet arm extension or penetration of basement membrane.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that Pf4-Cre also recombines in a significant proportion of both fetal liver and bone marrow hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), including the most primitive fraction containing the long-term repopulating HSCs.

TL;DR: Through use of this conditionally inducible mouse model, insights are gained into the actin dynamics of cells that could only previously be studied using fixed specimens or following isolation from their native tissue environment.

TL;DR: The correct name of the second author is: Amelie V. Guitart, and the correct citation is: Calaminus SDJ, Guitarts AV, Sinclair A, Schachtner H, Watson SP, et al.
