Induced cortical tension restores functional junctions in adhesion-defective carcinoma cells
Cancer cells can disrupt cell-to-cell junctions, thus allowing migration and metastasis. Here starting from a chemical screening, Ito et al. reconstitute a step-by-step mechanism linking microtubule depolymerization and epithelial cell junction restoration.
