How do migrating cell groups balance force and flexibility?

Our new preprint shows that RhoGAP15B downregulates RhoA–Myosin activity to stabilise protrusions and enable efficient collective migration in vivo.

Happy New Year!

#CellMigration happens all the time in our bodies. This may (or not) rely on adhesion molecules

#Cancer cells switch strategies during metastasis to invade other tissues

Porto is a beautiful during spring (it is all year around but I may be biased)!

And is hosting the conference that you don't want to miss on #adhesion regulation in #cancer. A great lineup of speakers from basic to clinical research and also many talk opportunities. Check it out and join us!

It's always mesmerizing seeing how these group of cells move.
