Fibronectin at a glance
Fibronectin (FN) mediates a wide variety of cellular interactions with the extracellular matrix (ECM) and plays important roles in cell adhesion, migration, growth and differentiation ( [Mosher,… Expand
Taking Cell-Matrix Adhesions to the Third Dimension
- E. Cukierman, R. Pankov, D. R. Stevens, K. Yamada
- Biology, Medicine
- Science
- 23 November 2001
Adhesions between fibroblastic cells and extracellular matrix have been studied extensively in vitro, but little is known about their in vivo counterparts. Here, we characterized the composition and… Expand
Dynamic interactions of cortactin and membrane type 1 matrix metalloproteinase at invadopodia: defining the stages of invadopodia formation and function.
- V. Artym, Y. Zhang, F. Seillier-Moiseiwitsch, K. Yamada, S. Mueller
- Biology, Medicine
- Cancer research
- 15 March 2006
Metastatic tumor cells that actively migrate and invade surrounding tissues rely on invadopodia to degrade extracellular matrix (ECM) barriers. Invadopodia are membrane protrusions that localize… Expand
Integrin function: molecular hierarchies of cytoskeletal and signaling molecules
- S. Miyamoto, H. Teramoto, +4 authors K. Yamada
- Biology, Medicine
- The Journal of cell biology
- 1 November 1995
Integrin receptors play important roles in organizing the actin- containing cytoskeleton and in signal transduction from the extracellular matrix. The initial steps in integrin function can be… Expand
Transmembrane crosstalk between the extracellular matrix--cytoskeleton crosstalk.
- B. Geiger, A. Bershadsky, R. Pankov, K. Yamada
- Medicine
- Nature reviews. Molecular cell biology
- 2001
Integrin-mediated cell adhesions provide dynamic, bidirectional links between the extracellular matrix and the cytoskeleton. Besides having central roles in cell migration and morphogenesis, focal… Expand
Mutation of Pten/Mmac1 in mice causes neoplasia in multiple organ systems.
- K. Podsypanina, L. Ellenson, +7 authors R. Parsons
- Biology, Medicine
- Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences…
- 16 February 1999
Pten/Mmac1+/- heterozygous mice exhibited neoplasms in multiple organs including the endometrium, liver, prostate, gastrointestinal tract, thyroid, and thymus. Loss of the wild-type allele was… Expand
One-dimensional topography underlies three-dimensional fibrillar cell migration
- A. Doyle, F. Wang, Kazue Matsumoto, K. Yamada
- Biology, Medicine
- The Journal of cell biology
- 23 February 2009
Current concepts of cell migration were established in regular two-dimensional (2D) cell culture, but the roles of topography are poorly understood for cells migrating in an oriented 3D fibrillar… Expand
Inhibition of cell migration, spreading, and focal adhesions by tumor suppressor PTEN.
- M. Tamura, J. Gu, K. Matsumoto, S. Aota, R. Parsons, K. Yamada
- Biology, Medicine
- Science
- 5 June 1998
The tumor suppressor PTEN is a phosphatase with sequence similarity to the cytoskeletal protein tensin. Here the cellular roles of PTEN were investigated. Overexpression of PTEN inhibited cell… Expand
The relationship between force and focal complex development
- C. Galbraith, K. Yamada, M. Sheetz
- Biology, Medicine
- The Journal of cell biology
- 25 November 2002
To adhere and migrate, cells must be capable of applying cytoskeletal force to the extracellular matrix (ECM) through integrin receptors. However, it is unclear if connections between integrins and… Expand
Random versus directionally persistent cell migration
Directional migration is an important component of cell motility. Although the basic mechanisms of random cell movement are well characterized, no single model explains the complex regulation of… Expand
