To move forward or migrate, the different cells in our body must exert forces or interact with their surrounding environment. Interestingly, however, a fault in these interactions can also be the reason for the spread of deadly cancer cells, such as in a brain tumor, or glioblastoma. While the importance of these interactions is well-understood, the machinery involved in these interactions at the molecular level remains a mystery.
