Abstract
Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) is an important regulator of normal epithelial and carcinoma cell migration. The mechanism by which EGF induces cell migration is not fully understood. A recent report in Nature Cell Biology (Katz et al., 2007) demonstrates that EGF regulates migration through a switch in the expression of two tensin isoforms, weakening the association of β1 integrin with the actin cytoskeleton in focal adhesions.
