CD44 and Ezrin restrict EGF receptor mobility to generate a novel spatial arrangement of cytoskeletal signaling modules driving bleb–based migration

A Jha, A Chandra, P Farahani, JE Toettcher, JM Haugh… - bioRxiv, 2025 - biorxiv.org
Cells under high confinement form highly polarized hydrostatic pressure–driven, stable
leader blebs that enable efficient migration in low adhesion, environments. Here we …

Long range mutual activation establishes Rho and Rac polarity during cell migration

H De Belly, AF Gallen, E Strickland, DC Estrada… - bioRxiv, 2024 - biorxiv.org
In migrating cells, the GTPase Rac organizes a protrusive front, whereas Rho organizes a
contractile back. How these GTPases are appropriately positioned at the opposite poles of a …
