Lipid synthesis and invasive cell migration

Invasive migration requires cells to break through extracellular matrix barriers, which is an energy-expensive process.

The researchers how in this study the importance of biosynthesis of fatty acids, phospholipids, and isoprenoids in driving invasive migration of the Caenorhabditis elegans anchor cell through a basement membrane barrier during development.
