Tumour cell migration has many similarities to leukocyte trafficking, a process by which leukocytes are recruited to sites of infection. Because chemokines — a family of small cytokines — help guide leukocytes to where they are needed, a group led by Albert Zlotnik of the DNAX Research Institute in California looked to see if chemokines also guide tumour cells to their targets.
