When suspended fibroblasts encounter a substratum such as fibronectin, they spread and then generate stable sites of cell–substratum contact, or focal adhesions (FAs). The FA protein talin links actin ...

Focal adhesion turnover is essential for cell migration. New results show that the talin head liberated from talin by calpain II cleavage has a key role in these events, and that its levels are ...

Talin is a protein that controls cellular attachment and movement, but its malfunctioning also allows cancer cells to spread. DCL1 is a tumor-suppressing protein. But scientists don’t fully understand ...
