2014-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Biophysics of Cancer: Cellular Excitability (“CELEX”) Hypothesis of Metastasis This article advances a novel hypothesis of metastasis called “CELEX” (for cellular excitability) and presents the current evidence for it. The CELEX hypothesis is based upon concerted expression of voltage-gated ion, particularly Na+ and K+, channels during cancer progression. Electrophysiological recordings from human carcinoma cell l...
