AIM1 is an actin-binding protein that suppresses cell migration and micrometastatic dissemination

Invasion of malignant cells involves changes in cytoskeleton dynamics. Here the authors identify absent in melanoma 1 as an actin binding protein and show that it regulates cytoskeletal remodeling and cell migration in prostate epithelial cells, acting as a metastatic suppressor in cancer cells.
