2D protrusion but not motility predicts growth factor–induced cancer cell migration in 3D collagen
4 Jun 2012
Abstract excerpt
Growth factor-induced migration is a critical step in the dissemination and metastasis of solid tumors. Although differences in properties characterizing cell migration on two-dimensional (2D) substrata versus within three-dimensional (3D) matrices have been noted for particular growth factor stimuli, the 2D approach remains in more common use as an efficient surrogate, especially for high-throughput experiments....
