Journal ArticleDOI
Taking Cell-Matrix Adhesions to the Third Dimension
TL;DR: These distinctive in vivo 3D-matrix adhesions differ in structure, localization, and function from classically described in vitro adhesion, and as such they may be more biologically relevant to living organisms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transmembrane crosstalk between the extracellular matrix--cytoskeleton crosstalk.
TL;DR: This review describes integrin functions, mechanosensors, molecular switches and signal-transduction pathways activated and integrated by adhesion, with a unifying theme being the importance of local physical forces.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fibronectin at a glance.
Roumen Pankov,Kenneth M. Yamada +1 more
TL;DR: Fibronectin mediates a wide variety of cellular interactions with the extracellular matrix (ECM) and plays important roles in cell adhesion, migration, growth and differentiation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modeling Tissue Morphogenesis and Cancer in 3D
Kenneth M. Yamada,Edna Cukierman +1 more
TL;DR: Three-dimensional (3D) in vitro models provide unique perspectives on the behavior of stem cells, developing tissues and organs, and tumors and may help to accelerate translational research in cancer biology and tissue engineering.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microfilaments in Cellular and Developmental Processes
Norman K. Wessells,Brian S. Spooner,J. F. Ash,M. O. Bradley,Marilyn A. Ludueña,E. L. Taylor,Joan T. Wrenn,Kenneth M. Yamada +7 more
TL;DR: The overall conclusion is that a broad spectrum of cellular and developmental processes are caused by contractile apparatuses that have at least the common feature of being sensitive to cytochalasin.
