Abstract excerpt
Cells degrade extracellular matrix (ECM) barriers at focal locations by the formation of membrane protrusions called invadopodia. Polymerization of the actin cytoskeleton is critical to the extension of these processes into the ECM. We used a short interference RNA/rescue strategy to investigate the role of cortactin in the formation of Src-induced invadopodia in 3T3 fibroblasts, and subsequent degradation of the...
