This study investigates how actin bundles are embedded in a contractile cortical network and how this affects traction force distribution in cells.

This study shows that Ena/VASP proteins promote cell migration by regulating lamellipodium architecture, actin dynamics, and integrin-dependent adhesion.

The paper investigates the biophysical properties of intermediate EMT states and finds they exhibit distinct structural and mechanical features compared to epithelial and mesenchymal states, with implications for tumor-cell dissemination.

This study identifies alpha-actinin's role in maintaining actin network symmetry by integrating mechanical forces in response to extracellular cues.
