title: Metastasis: wherefore arf thou?
abstract: The small GTP-binding protein Arf6 is known to be an important regulator of the actin cytoskeleton and of cell motility associated with metastasis. A recent study identifies yet another role for Arf6 in metastasis - as a regulator of plasma-membrane-derived microvesicle release.
