Journal Club Wed 10/6

Hi all-

Here is the article for this Wednesday:

Autologous Chemotaxis as a Mechanism of Tumor Cell Homing to Lymphatics via Interstitial Flow and Autocrine CCR7 Signaling

This is a biology paper that describes an interesting mechanism for tumor metastasis. Currently, a new microfluidic platform with live-cell imaging is being used to study this effect. The project emphasizes the simulation of tumor microenvironment. Looking forward to discussing on Wednesday.
