Transendothelial migration of leukocytes involves the spatiotemporal regulation of adhesion
molecules, chemokines and cytoskeletal regulators. Recent results show that distinct steps
of leukocyte transendothelial migration are regulated by sequential integrin activation and
coordinated Rho family GTPase activity. Progress has been made in understanding how the
dynamic regulation of these molecules translates into leukocyte transmigration.
