CCGS/Biology faculty member Steve Rogers was recently awarded a grant
from the American Heart Association to dissect the molecular mechanisms
underlying cell migration. Specifically, his group will focus on the question
of how cells build filopodia, the finger-like cellular protrusions assembled
from the cellular network of actin. The results of these studies
will contribute to a basic understanding about how cells interact with
their environment during migration, and will define a "parts list" for
subsequent systems-level analysis of the cellular networks involved
in building actin-based structures.
