How do genes that keep melanocytes alive affect #melanoma? Using a #zebrafish line with mitfa-driven Cas9, researchers show that knocking out survival genes can sometimes fuel more aggressive tumour traits.

1/11 🚨 New research! 🚨 We explored how cells adhere to supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) using Invasin, a high-affinity integrin ligand. Surprisingly, cells spread and form mature integrin adhesions on fluid SLBs, revealing a novel microtubule-driven mechanotransduction! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Cell adhesion and spreading on fluid membranes through microtubules-dependent mechanotransduction - Nature Communications

During cell adhesion, integrins are typically thought to require immobilized ligands for spreading. Here, the authors demonstrate that cells can spread and form mature integrin adhesions on fluid subs...
