Abstract

Coordinated Cell Motion In article number 2104808 by Swetha Raghuraman, Timo Betz, and co-workers, a novel migration phenomenon is presented wherein cancer cells burst out from tumor aggregates as an act of pressure release into the surrounding in-homogeneous soft extra-cellular matrix (ECM) made up of collagen. The pressure within tumor aggregates manifests due to cellular swelling, leading to a super-diffusive coordinated expulsion of cells within 12 hours, directed towards regions providing least mechanical resistance
