Specific chapters in this release cover Actin dynamics during tumor cell dissemination, Actin cytoskeleton remodeling during cancer cell migration, Cytoskeletal Mechanics Drives Heterogeneity in Epithelial Ovarian Cancer, and much more.
- Provides comprehensive and timely reviews on actin cytoskeleton and its regulators in cancer biology
- Offers a wide range of perspectives for basic and translational research
- Discusses opportunities and challenges for translating knowledge of tumor cell actin cytoskeleton into clinical applications

Fernando Aranda Vega
Fernando Aranda holds a BSc in Biology (2006) and Biochemistry (2007) from the University of Navarra. Then, he specialized in different strategies of Cancer Immunotherapy with a MSc in Biomedical Research (2008), and a PhD Degree (2012) from the University of Navarra (Pamplona) – Cima University of Navarra. More than 12 years in translational research focus on antitumor immune responses and Cancer Immunotherapy. Author of 64 publications indexed in PubMed in prestigious international journals, with h-index 30 and 4,296 cites (October 2022). He completed the Program of Sara Borrell (ISCIII) -competitive Postdoctoral contract- in the Group of Immune Receptors of the Innate and Adaptive System (IDIBAPS), Barcelona (2016-2018). Co-author of 1 invention patent: Composition based on the fibronectin domain A for the treatment of melanoma - WO/2011/101332. In 2012, Fernando Aranda obtained a Scientific Award, "Profesor Durantez" II Edición, for the best scientific article in Tumor Immunology by Fundación LAIR. Recently, Fernando Aranda awarded a competitive Research Fellow contract “Miguel Servet tipo I” by Instituto de Salud Carlos III, to continue his independent researcher career (IP) in cancer immunotherapy issues. Specifically, he is involved in Translational Immunotherapy of Peritoneal Carcinomatosis. Currently, Fernando Aranda leads a research group in cooperation with Dr. Pedro Berraondo.
