Abstract

Cancer Cells Cancer cell clusters do not migrate effectively. Mesenchymal cells in cancer cell clusters can serve the role of “taxi” and facilitate cancer cell migration. The array of microwells containing cancer cells can be used to analyze their migration in the presence and absence of mesenchymal cells and screen for other factors involved in cancer cell migration. More details can be found in article number 2203515 by Song Li and co-workers.
