Morphoregulatory functions of the RNA-binding motif protein 3 in cell spreading, polarity and migration

Abstract RNA-binding proteins are emerging as key regulators of transitions in cell morphology. The RNA-binding motif protein 3 (RBM3) is a cold-inducible RNA-binding protein with broadly relevant roles in cellular protection, and putative functions in cancer and development. Several findings sugges...
