What they learned could help treat cancer

Some of the body's cells stay put for life, while others are free to roam. To move, these migratory cells rely on filopodia--sensitive, finger-like protrusions that reach out from the cell membrane into the local environment. In a healthy cell, this can be a lifesaver: say, when an immune cell is speeding to . . .
