P-cadherin provides the driving force for collective cell migration
Collective cell migration is an important process in normal development, wound repair, and tumor metastasis. Plutoni et al. reveal that the cell adhesion molecule P-cadherin promotes collective cell migration via the small GTPase Cdc42, inducing cell polarization and increasing the strength and orientation of mechanical forces. This biosights episode presents the paper by Plutoni et al. from the January 18th, 2016, issue of The Journal of Cell Biology and includes an interview with the paper's senior author, Cécile Gauthier-Rouvière (Centre de Recherche de Biochimie Macromoléculaire, Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, Montpellier, France). Produced by Caitlin Sedwick and Ben Short. See the associated paper in JCB for details on the funding provided to support this original research.
