نویسنده
چکیده
Brian Stramer completed his undergraduate degree at the University of Rochester in Rochester, NY, and then moved to pursue his PhD at Tufts University in Boston, MA. He then crossed the Atlantic to work in the laboratory of Paul Martin as a US/UK Royal Society Fellow at the University of Bristol, UK. Before becoming a lecturer and a group leader at King's College London in 2008, Brian was also a lecturer of Veterinary Basic Sciences at the Royal Veterinary College in London. In 2015, Brian received a Wellcome Trust Investigator Award, which he will use to continue his research on the regulation of contact inhibition of locomotion and its roles in animal physiology.

Cell Biology: Master Regulators of Sealing and Healing
The protective layer of the epidermis in Drosophila (cuticle) and mice (stratum corneum) are structurally unrelated. Yet new evidence suggests a conserved transcription factor, Grainyhead, controls both their development and the means by which both structures repair themselves.

متن کاملA direct interaction between fascin and microtubules contributes to adhesion dynamics and cell migration
Fascin is an actin-binding and bundling protein that is highly upregulated in most epithelial cancers. Fascin promotes cell migration and adhesion dynamics in vitro and tumour cell metastasis in vivo. However, potential non-actin bundling roles for fascin remain unknown. Here, we show for the first time that fascin can directly interact with the microtubule cytoskeleton and that this does not d...

متن کاملLive imaging of wound inflammation in Drosophila embryos reveals key roles for small GTPases during in vivo cell migration
Aa robust inflammatory response to tissue damage and infection is conserved across almost all animal phyla. Neutrophils and macrophages, or their equivalents, are drawn to the wound site where they engulf cell and matrix debris and release signals that direct components of the repair process. This orchestrated cell migration is clinically important, and yet, to date, leukocyte chemotaxis has la...
