Cell migration represents a fundamental physiological process that is intricately linked to cancer biology. The movement of cells is governed by dynamic interactions with the extracellular matrix (ECM ...

Konstanz researchers identify an enzyme that plays a role in the migration of cells in our body—not only during normal tissue formation and wound healing, but also when tumor cells metastasize. This ...

Scientists at Oregon Health & Science University have uncovered a previously unknown system of internal "trade winds" that help cells rapidly move essential proteins to the front of the cell, ...

Understanding which cells within a tumor will go on to form metastases remains one of the major challenges in cancer research ...

An illustration of zebrafish heart development, showing the migration of cells in the growing embryo after 17 hours, 1 day and 2 days to form the heart. Most heart cells come from the embryonic ...
