Lévy-like movement patterns of metastatic cancer cells revealed in microfabricated systems and implicated in vivo
Abstract Metastatic cancer cells differ from their non-metastatic counterparts not only in terms of molecular composition and genetics, but also by the very strategy they employ for locomotion. Here, we analyzed large-scale statistics for cells migrating on linear microtracks to show that metastatic...
