Merlin's wizardry guides cohesive migration

Ansgar Zoch et al. Nat Cell Biol. 2015 Mar.

Abstract

Cells often migrate in tightly connected groups with coordinated movement and polarity. The collective migration of epithelial cell sheets is now shown to be mediated by a signalling axis that involves the merlin tumour-suppressor protein, the tight-junction-associated angiomotin-Rich1 complex and the Rac1 small GTPase.
