ADHESION

Atypical matrix adhesions guide cell division

Nature Cell Biology volume 20, pages 1233–1235 (2018)Cite this article

Subjects

Classical actin-dependent, integrin-mediated cell–matrix adhesions disassemble before mitotic rounding. Yet, to transmit positional information and facilitate daughter-cell separation, dividing cells maintain connections to the matrix. A previously unidentified class of actin-independent integrin adhesions may fulfil this task.
