Amoeboid-mesenchymal migration plasticity promotes invasion only in complex heterogeneous microenvironments
Abstract During tissue invasion individual tumor cells exhibit two interconvertible migration modes, namely mesenchymal and amoeboid migration. The cellular microenvironment triggers the switch between both modes, thereby allowing adaptation to dynamic conditions. It is, however, unclear if this amo...
