Cell migration at a glance.
Cell migration is a fundamental process, from simple, uni-cellular organisms such as amoeba, to complex multi-cellular organisms such as mammals. Whereas its main functions comprise mating and the search for food in simple organisms (Manahan et al., 2004), complexity brings a requirement for specialization, which necessitates cell migration-mediated tissue organization, organogenesis and homeos...

This article is part of a Minifocus on collective cell migration. For further reading, please see related articles: ʻWound repair at a glanceʼ by Tanya Shaw and Paul Martin (J. Cell Sci. 122, 3209-3213) and ʻCollective cell migration in developmentʼ by Cornelis Weijer (J. Cell Sci. 122, 3215-3223). Introduction Collective cell movement occurs when two or more cells that retain their cell-cell j...
متن کاملCortactin in cell migration and cancer at a glance.
The actin-nucleation-promoting factor cortactin has emerged not only as a crucial regulator of actin cytoskeletal dynamics, but also as a key player in aggressive cancers (Buday and Downward, 2007; Weaver, 2008). Cortactin was first identified as a prominent substrate of the Src nonreceptor tyrosine kinase. Its name was derived from the observation that cortactin localizes to cortical actin str...
متن کاملCELL SCIENCE AT A GLANCE The Exocyst at a Glance
The exocyst is an octameric protein complex that is implicated in the tethering of secretory vesicles to the plasma membrane prior to SNARE-mediated fusion. Spatial and temporal control of exocytosis through the exocyst has a crucial role in a number of physiological processes, such as morphogenesis, cell cycle progression, primary ciliogenesis, cell migration and tumor invasion. In this Cell S...
متن کاملCELL SCIENCE AT A GLANCE Collagen VI at a glance
Collagen VI represents a remarkable extracellular matrix molecule, and in the past few years, studies of this molecule have revealed its involvement in a wide range of tissues and pathological conditions. In addition to its complex multi-step pathway of biosynthesis and assembly that leads to the formation of a characteristic and distinctive network of beaded microfilaments in the extracellular...
