Beschreibungen/Notizen

• On page 321, D. Bonifazi and co‐workers report the motility of model breast cancer cells seeded onto surfaces exposing concentration gradients of the isoleucine‐glycine‐aspartate (IGD) motif. The peculiar migratory behavior is depicted in the image, where the long‐distance displacement of a sub‐population of cancer cells is observed along the verse imposed by the self‐assembled gradient monolayer. These surfaces are proposed as platforms for the assessment of biochemical triggers influencing cancer cell migration and for the isolation of phenotypes fingerprinting a particular invasive behavior.
