Proteolysis-free cell migration through crowded environments via mechanical worrying
M. K. Driscoll, E. S. Welf, A. D. Weems…·G. Danuser
The paper shows amoeboid melanoma cells migrate through crowded environments by mechanically degrading extracellular matrix via bleb-driven abrading, without proteolysis.

The nucleus acts as a ruler tailoring cell responses to spatial constraints
A. Lomakin, C. Cattin, D. Cuvelier…·M. Piel
The paper shows that the nucleus acts as a ruler by triggering contractile responses when confined, influencing cell migration and processes like cancer invasion and immune responses.

Direct Arp2/3-vinculin binding is essential for cell spreading, but only on compliant substrates and in 3D
T. Isogai, K. M. Dean, P. Roudot…·G. Danuser
The paper investigates the role of actin-binding proteins in cell spreading on 2D and 3D substrates, finding that Arp2/3-vinculin binding is critical for 3D spreading but not 2D.

A unified role for membrane-cortex detachment during cell protrusion initiation
E. S. Welf, C. E. Miles, J. Huh…·G. Danuser
The paper shows that membrane-cortex detachment is essential for initiating both pressure-based and actin-based protrusions, challenging the Brownian ratchet model and unifying protrusion regulation.
