Dr. Stroka's co-authored paper in Oncogene was recently officially published and available online. This paper was completed in collaboration with researchers at University of Maryland School of Medicine and Johns Hopkins University. The paper discusses how proteins called giant obscurins, which are typically known for their role in striated muscle cell function and organization, also play a significant role in tumor cell migration, invasion, and metastasis in vivo.
