Abstract

Cell migration The movement of groups of cells during development and tumour metastasis is poorly understood. A handle on the process is provided by border cell migration in the Drosophila ovary, a powerful model for the regulation of cell migration and guidance in vivo. Using Drosophila's sophisticated genetics, and innovative live imaging, Bianco et al. show that border cells migrate in two phases. First, cells migrate posteriorly in a fast mode. For the second half of posterior migration, and for dorsal migration, border cells move slowly as a compact cluster and cells begin to shuffle within clusters. The two migration modes have quite distinct sensitivities to receptor tyrosine kinase signalling pathways and the cell cluster processes information as a group, making use of the difference in signalling levels between individual cells.
