Series on Cancer Cell Biology
Cancer is a disease of deregulated cellular behaviour, as oncogenic alterations endow cancer cells with properties that allow them to hijack normal cellular processes resulting in unlimited proliferation, evasion of death signals and spread to distant sites through the process of metastasis. The mechanisms of tumour suppression and of cancer initiation and propagation, as well as the attributes that permit cancer cells to escape the confines of the primary tumour and to metastasize, are areas of intense research. Nature Cell Biology presents a series of review and perspective articles by leading scientists, discussing recent advances and challenges in cancer cell biology. These pieces were published as part of the series over several months and are accompanied by an online library of related research papers from Nature Cell Biology and other Nature journals.
