Melanoma cells adopt features of both mesenchymal and amoeboid migration within confining channels

Abstract For metastasis to occur, cancer cells must traverse a range of tissue environments. In part, this is accomplished by cells adjusting their migration mode to one that is best suited to the environment. Melanoma cells have been shown to be particularly plastic, frequently using both mesenchym...
