Joachim Spatz discussed in detail the groups recently published paper in Nature Cell Biology (citation & link see below).
The paper described in detail: A molecular mechanotransduction pathway regulates collective migration of epithelial cells. Das, T., Safferling, K., Rausch, S., Grabe, N., Böhm, H., & Spatz, J. P. (2015). Nature Cell Biology, 17, 276-287. doi:10.1038/ncb3115. http://www.nature.com/ncb/journal/v17/n3/full/ncb3115.html
