A cell-based fascin bioassay identifies compounds with potential anti-metastasis or cognition-enhancing functions

The actin-bundling protein fascin is a key mediator of tumor invasion and metastasis and its activity drives filopodia formation, cell-shape changes and cell migration. Small-molecule inhibitors of fascin block tumor metastasis in animal models. Conversely, fascin deficiency might underlie the patho...
