Bringing up the rear: defining the roles of the uropod

Francisco Sánchez-Madrid et al. Nat Rev Mol Cell Biol. 2009 May.

Abstract

Renewed interest in cell shape has been prompted by a recent flood of evidence that indicates that cell polarity is essential for the biology of motile cells. The uropod, a protrusion at the rear of amoeboid motile cells such as leukocytes, exemplifies the importance of morphology in cell motility. Remodelling of cell shape by uropod-interfering agents disturbs cell migration. But even though the mechanisms by which uropods regulate cell migration are beginning to emerge, their functional significance remains enigmatic.
