Invasion pathways

In vivo monitoring of invasion pathways and metastases of GFP-tagged tumor cells... 

The invasion pathways, arrest and clearance of tumor cells in various tissues can be studied by injecting tumor cells into experimental animal models. In this case, a way of tracking single tumor cells within the circulatory system and the organ microenvironment is required.
