ANN ARBOR, Michigan, Dec. 17 (TNSJou) -- The University of Michigan issued the following news release:
When cancer cells metastasize, they morph, becoming missile-shaped in order to penetrate into other tissues throughout the body.
In fact, to travel throughout the body, metastatic cancer cells must change their phenotypes--their physical characteristics. This change allows stationary, epithelial cells which compose the barriers of our organs and our skin, to morph into . . .
