Engagement with the nucleus enhances the efficiency of basement membrane invasion

Cell invasion through basement membrane (BM) extracellular matrix barriers is important during organ development, immune cell trafficking, and cancer metastasis.

Cell invasion through basement membrane (BM) extracellular matrix barriers is important during organ development, immune cell trafficking, and cancer metastasis. Here we study an invasion event, anchor cell (AC) invasion, which occurs during Caenorhabditis elegans development.…
