The Yale School of Medicine cancer researcher doggedly pursued the question of how cancer spreads.

Researchers say evidence of hybridization between leukocytes and cancer indicates that this is a primary means of metastasis. Others disagree.

Tumor cells missing a critical protein enter neighboring cells to sap their nutrients, then exit those hosts as intact cells, possibly primed to metastasize. Other scholars say it’s too early to know this for sure.

It’s now thought that in many cases, cancer cells disseminate from the primary tumor site early on and lay dormant for long periods rather than only venturing out from primary tumors at an advanced stage.

The G-baToN prototype transfers GFP between cells, illuminating cell-cell contacts.

Recent insights, such as the recognition that disseminated cancer cells can lie dormant for years before seeding secondary tumors, suggest novel strategies for fighting metastatic disease.

Researchers find connective tissue has a crucial role to play in whether cancer cells metastasize.

A study finds similarities between cells that heal wounds and those that lead deadly cancerous invasions.

A deep neural network can help determine how likely cancer cells are to metastasize.

New methods of visualizing tissue are presented at the Society for Neuroscience meeting.

Three studies show that tumor cells can behave like neurons.

The genes promote the migration of endothelial cells outside of the uterus, a characteristic of both endometriosis and endometrial cancers, a study of mice and human tissue finds.

An increased production of ribosomes may underlie cell migration and relate to cancer metastasis, according to a new study.

The Michigan State University researcher’s lab experiences shaped her interest in the role of glucose in cancer’s spread.
