Author(s): Shaohe Wang, Kenneth M. Yamada
Cell invasion across basement membrane barriers is important in both normal development and cancer metastasis. In this issue of Developmental Cell, Naegeli et al. (2017) identify a mechanism for breaching basement membranes. Localized lysosome exocytosis fuels generation of large, invasive cellular protrusions that expand tiny basement membrane openings.
