    Mutant p53s generate pro-invasive niches by influencing exosome podocalyxin levels

    Mutant p53s (mutp53) increase cancer invasiveness by upregulating Rab-coupling protein (RCP) and diacylglycerol kinase-α (DGKα)-dependent endosomal recycling. Here we report that mutp53-expressing tumour cells...

    Cancer cells with trapped nuclei cut their way through the extracellular matrix

    When an invading cancer cell attempts to pass through a hole in the extracellular matrix (ECM) which is too small for its nucleus, this generates physical tension. This tension is sensed by a nucleus–centrosom...

    Increased formate overflow is a hallmark of oxidative cancer

    Formate overflow coupled to mitochondrial oxidative metabolism\ has been observed in cancer cell lines, but whether that takes place in the tumor microenvironment is not known. Here we report the observation o...

    Glutaminolysis drives membrane trafficking to promote invasiveness of breast cancer cells

    The role of glutaminolysis in providing metabolites to support tumour growth is well-established, but the involvement of glutamine metabolism in invasive processes is yet to be elucidated. Here we show that no...

    Phosphorylation of Rab-coupling protein by LMTK3 controls Rab14-dependent EphA2 trafficking to promote cell:cell repulsion

    The Rab GTPase effector, Rab-coupling protein (RCP) is known to promote invasive behaviour in vitro by controlling integrin and receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) trafficking, but how RCP influences metastasis in viv...
