Cancer Biomolecular gradient

depicts migration of cells in response types of molecules in gradient.

biomolecular gradients have been shown facilitate invasion of cancer cells different types of tissues in body. cancer metastasis thought directly coupled growth factor gradients facilitate chemotaxis of cancer promoter factors. these chemoattractants promote tumour angiogenesis, namely increased blood flow tissues allowing cancer thrive in different areas of body. therefore, pathway allows movement of tumour-promoting molecules toward healthy tissues in body. further study required quantify pathways involved in above response , may provide insight more effective treatment cancer patients.
