Integrin-dependent actomyosin contraction regulates epithelial cell scattering

The scattering of Madin-Darby canine kidney cells in vitro mimics key aspects of epithelial–mesenchymal transitions during development, carcinoma cell invasion, and metastasis. Scattering is induced by hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) and is thought to involve disruption of cadherin-dependent cell–cel...
