  text: Migrating cells penetrate tissue barriers during development, inflammatory
    responses, and tumor metastasis. We study if migration in vivo in such three-dimensionally
    confined environments requires changes in the mechanical properties of the surrounding
    cells using embryonic Drosophila melanogaster hemocytes, also called macrophages,
    as a model. We find that macrophage invasion into the germband through transient
    separation of the apposing ectoderm and mesoderm requires cell deformations and
    reductions in apical tension in the ectoderm. Interestingly, the genetic pathway
    governing these mechanical shifts acts downstream of the only known tumor necrosis
    factor superfamily member in Drosophila, Eiger, and its receptor, Grindelwald.
    Eiger-Grindelwald signaling reduces levels of active Myosin in the germband ectodermal
    cortex through the localization of a Crumbs complex component, Patj (Pals-1-associated
    tight junction protein). We therefore elucidate a distinct molecular pathway that
    controls tissue tension and demonstrate the importance of such regulation for
    invasive migration in vivo.

  text: The insect’s fat body combines metabolic and immunological functions. In this
    issue of Developmental Cell, Franz et al. (2018) show that in Drosophila, cells
    of the fat body are not static, but can actively “swim” toward sites of epithelial
    injury, where they physically clog the wound and locally secrete antimicrobial
    peptides.
