Abstract

The regulation of integrin function is key to fundamental cellular processes, including cell migration and extracellular matrix (ECM) assembly. In this issue, Georgiadou et al. (2017. J. Cell Biol. https://doi.org/10.1083/jcb.201609066) report that the metabolic sensor adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase influences tensin production to regulate α5β1-integrin and fibrillar adhesion assembly and thus reveal an important connection between energy metabolism and ECM assembly.
