Cell Movement and Neoplasia : Proceedings of the Annual Meeting of the Cell Tissue and Organ Culture Study Group, Held at the Janssen Research Foundation, Beerse, Belgium, May 1979

Cell Movement and Neoplasia presents the proceedings of the annual meeting of the Cell Tissue and Organ Culture Study Group, held at the Janssen Research Foundation, Beerse, Belgium, in May 1979. The book covers papers about the structural functional correlates in cell movement and invasion and an approach to the in vitro study of neoplastic cell social behavior with a light microscopy method of bidirectional image transfer. The text then presents papers about cell interactions and invasion in vitro and cell movement and invasion in vivo. Geneticists, oncologists, pathologists, cytologists, and other scientists from diverse disciplines will find the book invaluable.
