Summary:
- Cancer cells can spread to other parts of the body through a process called metastasis. This involves the cancer cells breaking away from the original tumor and traveling through the bloodstream or lymphatic system.
- Researchers have discovered that cancer cells can create "trade winds" inside themselves, which help them move more easily through the body. These internal air currents are caused by differences in temperature and density within the cell.
- Understanding these internal cell movements could lead to new ways to prevent or slow down the spread of cancer, such as by disrupting the "trade winds" that allow cancer cells to move.
