    Abstract Macrophages are exceptionally invasive cells. In a recent article in Science, Akhmanova et al. describe a novel mechanism facilitating macrophage infiltration into a tightly packed tissue in Drosophila embryos. Ectodermal cell rounding and division enhance macrophage entry by detaching the dividing cells from the underlying extracellular matrix.

    Abstract Apoptosis is the best described form of regulated cell death, and was, until relatively recently, considered irreversible once particular biochemical points-of-no-return were activated. In this manuscript, we examine the mechanisms cells use to escape from a self-amplifying death signaling module. We discuss the role of feedback, dynamics, propagation, and noise in apoptotic signaling. We conclude with a revised model for the role of apoptosis in animal development, homeostasis, and disease.

    Abstract Collective cell migrations drive morphogenesis, wound healing, and cancer dissemination. Cells located at the front are considered leaders while those behind them are defined topologically as followers. Leader cell behaviors, including chemotaxis and their coupling to followers, have been well-studied and reviewed. However, the contributions of follower cells to collective cell migration represent an emerging area of interest. In this perspective, we highlight recent research into the broadening array of follower cell behaviors found in moving collectives. We describe examples of follower cells that possess cryptic leadership potential and followers that lack that potential but contribute in diverse and sometimes surprising ways to collective movement, even steering from behind. We highlight collectives in which all cells both lead and follow, and a few passive passengers. The molecular mechanisms controlling follower cell function and behavior are just emerging and represent an exciting frontier in collective cell migration research.

    Abstract Diapause is a protective mechanism that many organisms deploy to overcome environmental adversities. Diapause extends lifespan and fertility to enhance the reproductive success and survival of the species. Although diapause states have been known and employed for commercial purposes, for example in the silk industry, detailed molecular and cell biological studies are an exciting frontier. Understanding diapause-like protective mechanisms will shed light on pathways that steer organisms through adverse conditions. One hope is that an understanding of the mechanisms that support diapause might be leveraged to extend the lifespan and/or health span of humans as well as species threatened by climate change. In addition, recent findings suggest that cancer cells that persist after treatment mimic diapause-like states, implying that these programs may facilitate cancer cell survival from chemotherapy and cause relapse. Here, we review the molecular mechanisms underlying diapause programs in a variety of organisms, and we discuss pathways supporting diapause-like states in tumor persister cells.

    Abstract Cells migrate collectively through confined environments during development and cancer metastasis. The nucleus, a stiff organelle, impedes single cells from squeezing into narrow channels within artificial environments. However, how nuclei affect collective migration into compact tissues is unknown. Here, we use border cells in the fly ovary to study nuclear dynamics in collective, confined in vivo migration. Border cells delaminate from the follicular epithelium and squeeze into tiny spaces between cells called nurse cells. The lead cell nucleus transiently deforms within the lead cell protrusion, which then widens. The nuclei of follower cells deform less. Depletion of the Drosophila B-type lamin, Lam, compromises nuclear integrity, hinders expansion of leading protrusions, and impedes border cell movement. In wildtype, cortical myosin II accumulates behind the nucleus and pushes it into the protrusion, whereas in Lam-depleted cells, myosin accumulates but does not move the nucleus. These data suggest that the nucleus stabilizes lead cell protrusions, helping to wedge open spaces between nurse cells.

    Abstract The epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) is an enticingly simple mechanism that converts stationary epithelial cells into migratory mesenchymal cells. EMT is meant to provide a unified explanation for phenomena as complex as gastrulation and metastasis. However, cell movements turn out to be diverse, and many are collective. Cells commonly migrate in clusters, strands, sheets, elongating tubes, or in fluid-like masses. Moreover, plenty of cells move without activating the EMT program. Here I propose that EMT can be understood as one of many types of transitions in a broader landscape-or phase space-of cell morphologies and behaviors. Throughout biology, and at multiple scales, complexity arises from the combinatorial deployment of simple, modular components. I propose that diversity of cell shapes and behaviors similarly arises from combinatorial use of modular biomechanical properties.

    Abstract During evolution, ubiquitin ligases increased in number with increasing nervous system complexity. Recent work shows that proper brain development, cognitive ability, and social behavior in mice require the ubiquitin ligase TRIM67. The work illuminates how general regulators like ubiquitin promote specific functions such as nervous system wiring during development.
