BI Distinguished Lectureship Series with Dr. John S. Condeelis

This has revolutionized our understanding of cancer metastasis. Multiphoton imaging demonstrates that tumor cells migrate with macrophages and move with high persistence to blood vessels under the control of HGF gradients (1). At the blood vessel these migrating tumor cells interact with TMEM, the intravasation doorway, composed…
