This migration mode is one of the ways cancer cells navigate tissue during metastasis. In a new study researchers have explored mesenchymal migration through cell simulations and mathematical modeling ...

During mesenchymal migration, a cancer cell moves like a gecko on a wall. Before choosing this mode of movement, the cell sizes up the surface to which it may stick, explained physicist Nadir Kaplan.
