DescriptionMetastasis is the development of secondary malignant
growths at a distance from a primary site of cancer.
Most of human deaths (90%) from cancer are due to
metastasis. In order to study physical signatures of
metastasis, detailed analyses of individual cell
trajectories are performed. The compilation of animated
and still visualizations selected for this movie
summarize the key findings from the investigation using
their model, and identify complex spatial and time
dependent cell migration patterns.
