Figure 1: The Movement Pattern of Cancer Cells

Caption

(a) Cell migrating on a linear microtrack. (scale bar = 20 μm) (b) Metastatic cancer cells perform Lévy walk featuring trajectories with clusters of small steps interspersed with rare long strides. In contrast, non-metastatic cells perform diffusive movements with many small steps of similar lengths. Scale bar is 100 μm for Lévy trajectory and 20 μm for the inset.
