Cancer Motility Mechanisms Observed

A new study out of Harvard Medical suggests that cancer cells have an intrinsic ability to mechanistically move through channels such as blood vessels as they make their way through the body and leave tumors. The study, published in Integrative Biology, uses a variety of microchannels and chemicals to treat the cells to a different environments. In almost all environments, the cells presented very fast motility along the channel.
