Robo-Enabled Tumor Cell Extrusion

Publication date: 19 December 2016

Author(s): Helena E. Richardson, Marta Portela
How aberrant cells are removed from a tissue to prevent tumor formation is a key question in cancer biology. Reporting in this issue of Developmental Cell, Vaughen and Igaki (2016) show that a pathway with an important role in neural guidance also directs extrusion of tumor cells from epithelial tissues.
