Cancer Cell Movements

Caption

Cancer cells sense and follow pathways in tumors to move throughout the body. In this image, cancer cells on the right are not directionally biased on grids that mimic fibrous networks, but become highly aligned and migrate directionally on the left in response to patterns that mimic aligned fibers found in living organisms.
