Study reveals how a cell signaling molecule can help oral cancer cells acquire high motility

The process of metastasis is when cancer cells gain motility and spread to other sites of the body. Because this is one of the main causes of cancer-related deaths, researchers have aimed to develop therapeutic strategies that can block metastasis.
