title: Collective migration: spatial tension relief.
abstract: Collective epithelial cell migration facilitates formation and maintenance of continuous sheets that line the surfaces and cavities of glands and tissues. By screening Rho GTPase regulators, myosin-IXA RhoGAP was identified as a key requirement for cell-cell adhesions that permit collective migration.
