How Cells Move in Growth and Cancer
Description
Cell motility and migration help cells move during normal growth and in disease. During development, cell movement helps build complex tissues and organs. The same movement process can also be used by tumor cells. When that happens, cancer cells spread in a process called metastasis.
A key part o...

Transcript
Cell motility is required for many physiological and pathological processes, including cell migration during embryonic development, movement of white blood cells in response to infection, and cancer cells undergoing metastasis. Two cellular proteins, actin and myosin, form the principal building blocks of the motility apparatu...
