Novel kinase regulators of extracellular matrix internalisation identified by high-content screening modulate invasive carcinoma cell migration

This study identifies novel kinase regulators of extracellular matrix (ECM) internalization through a high-content screen, characterizing the α2β1 integrin/p38 signaling axis as required for the internalization integrin-bound ECM, which modulates cell migration and invasion in breast, ovarian and ...

New preprint from our lab by Sherry & Rachele: "The protease ADAMTS5 controls ovarian cancer cell invasion, downstream of Rab25"

Ovarian cancer is the 3rd most common gynaecological malignancy worldwide, with a 5-year survival rate of less than 30% in the presence of metastasis. Metastatic progression is characterised by extensive remodelling of the extracellular matrix, primarily mediated by secreted matrix metalloproteinase...
