Focal adhesion disassembly requires clathrin-dependent endocytosis of integrins

TL;DR: It is shown that adhesion turnover is mediated through dynamin‐ and clathrin‐dependent endocytosis of activated β1 integrins, which provides important insight into the mechanisms underlying adhesion disassembly and identifies novel components of the disassembly pathway.
Journal ArticleDOI

Type I Phosphatidylinositol Phosphate Kinase Beta Regulates Focal Adhesion Disassembly by Promoting β1 Integrin Endocytosis

TL;DR: PIPKIβ is identified as a novel regulator of focal adhesion disassembly and it is suggested that PIPKI β spatially regulates integrin endocytosis at adhesion sites to control cell migration.
Journal ArticleDOI

Anti-metastatic activity of biologically synthesized gold nanoparticles on human fibrosarcoma cell line HT-1080

TL;DR: The results showed that the biosynthesized gold nanoparticles were non-toxic to cell proliferation and, also it can inhibit the chemo-attractant cell migration of human fibrosarcoma cancer cell line HT-1080 by interfering the actin polymerization pathway.
