MDA-MB-436 cell tethered onto a TetherChip showing how the ends of free-floating microtentacles ball up when fixative is added.

MDA-MB-436 cells tethered onto a TetherChip showing microtentacles that are allowed to settle down and tether to the lipid are not as affected by the addition of the fixative.
These images represent the leading-edge dynamics of a migrating collective sheet of cells. The non‑tumorigenic MCF10A show a smooth progression from 0 h (blue) to 12 h (yellow) while the metastatic MDA-MB-231 cells display a disordered progression. Scale bars indicate 100 µm. Lee, R.
