Article Title: Tensin relief facilitates migration
Abstract: The molecular mechanisms through which the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) promotes normal cell migration and carcinoma invasion are incompletely understood. A new study reveals that EGFR induces a switch in expression from tensin to its endogenous inhibitor cten (C-terminal tensin-like protein), alleviating integrin linkage to the cytoskeleton. Analysis of clinical samples suggests that this may be important for breast cancer invasion.
