Brain Cancer Cell

Caption

A brain cancer cell generates traction forces to move much like a car with a motor that generates force and a clutch that transfer that force to structures that grip the tissue along which they move. In this image, those forces are indicated by arrows. The larger arrows and warmer colors represent higher forces.
