Cancer Protrusions on a Tightrope - Suspended Fiber Platform Reveals Protrusion Dynamics Independent of Cell Migration

Indispensable to all modes of migration used during single cell metastasis, cytoplasmic protrusions are pivotal in surveying cells local surroundings which ultimately initiates migration of the cell body. Cancer cell migration is fairly well studied with the traditional focus on protrusion driven ce...
