来自美国加州大学旧金山分校的研究人员首次能够在转移癌(metastatic cancer)模式小鼠体内直接观察当浸润性癌细胞向肺部迁移时,它们如何建立据点。他们非常吃惊地观察到:早期的“先锋”癌细胞进入肺部后通常都会死亡,但是它们首先释放出行为上类似于僵尸的颗粒,这些颗粒能够自行移动,并且被一波又一波的免疫细胞吞噬。在这些免疫细胞中,很多细胞只要被这些癌 For the first time, researchers from the University of California, San Francisco, USA, were able to directly observe how metastatic cancer cells migrate to the lungs in their metastatic cancer model mice. They were very surprised to see that early “vanguard” cancer cells usually died when they entered the lungs, but they first released particles that behave like zombies and were able to move on their own and wave after wave Immune cells are phagocytosed. In these immune cells, many cells are only affected by these cancers
