Cell migration, broadly defined as the movement of cells from one location to another, is important in diverse processes includ-ing embryonic development and wound healing. It is also a key parameter in metastasis, the spread of cancer cells to different parts of the body from their original location, which encompasses tumor cell invasion, entry into the vasculature, and distal site col-onization¹. In vitro, cells migrate in response to chemical signals such as nutrients, and this chemoattraction can be used to study cellular migration mechanisms. Through understanding of the mechanisms of cancer cell migration, novel therapeutics can be developed to impede metastasis in cancer patients.
