Well, it might not be as nice as a New England prep school but I guess the Les Diabrelets Gordon Conference site is OK.... JUST KIDDING! This is the view from our balcony and it will be even more incredible tomorrow when its sunny 1/2

Afadin is an #ILC #metastasis suppressor! Based on clinical and experimental data we show that Afadin inhibits metastasis by stabilizing the #E-cadherin to F-actin link. The α-catenin binding CC domains is key, not the F-actin binding region! pathsocjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...
