    Fibroblasts Generate Topographical Cues That Steer Cancer Cell Migration

    Scientists reported that migrating fibroblasts deposit on the substrate a network of tubular structures that serves as a guidance cue for cancer cell migration. Such membranous tubular network, hereafter called tracks, was stably anchored to the substrate in a β5-integrin–dependent manner.

    Abstract

    A Nature-Inspired Versatile Bio-Adhesive

    Investigators presented a spatial multi-level physical-chemical and bio-inspired in situ bonding strategy, to develop a multifunctional hydrogel bio-glue using polyglutamic acid, tyramine hydrochloride, and tannic acid as precursors and DMTMM as condensation agent.

    Coalescent RNA-Localizing and Transcriptional Activities of SAM68 Modulate Adhesion and Subendothelial Basement Membrane Assembly

    The authors found that SAM68 was transiently localized at the edge of spreading cells where it participated in membrane protrusive activity and the conversion of nascent adhesions to mechanically loaded focal adhesions by modulation of integrin signaling and local delivery of β-actin mRNA.

    Abstract

    The Effect of Resveratrol, Curcumin, and Quercetin Combination on Immuno-Suppression of Tumor Microenvironment for Breast Tumor-Bearing Mice

    Researchers designed an antitumor compound named RCQ composed of resveratrol, curcumin, and quercetin. This study examined the effect on tumorigenesis and development of 4T1 breast cancer-bearing mice following administering RCQ by intragastric administration.
