Development of a model for fibroblast-led collective migration from breast cancer cell spheroids to study radiation effects on invasiveness

Abstract Background Invasiveness is a major factor contributing to metastasis of tumour cells. Given the broad variety and plasticity of invasion mechanisms, assessing potential metastasis-promoting effects of irradiation for specific mechanisms is important for further understanding of potential ad...
