    GlossaryCell Invasion

    process where cells penetrate and move through tissues

    Cell invasion refers to the process by which cells penetrate and move through surrounding tissues. This is a critical mechanism in various biological contexts, such as wound healing, immune response, and cancer metastasis. In the case of cancer, malignant cells invade neighboring tissues and spread to other parts of the body, which can complicate treatment and worsen prognosis.
