Die Zellmigration ist in nahezu allen Bereichen der Entwicklungsbiologie, Genetik und Biomedizin von Bedeutung. Neue Verfahren zur Zellmarkierung und neue Modellsysteme führten zu raschen Fortschritten bei der Erforschung der molekularen Mechanismen der Wanderung von Zellen. Dieser Band handelt alle Aspekte des Themas umfassend ab. Im letzten Kapitel wird die Rolle der Zellmigration bei der Entstehung bestimmter Krankheitsbilder (unter anderem von Tumoren) diskutiert.

"...provides a good summary ... provide a useful introduction to the various mechanisms used for cell movement during development. ... This book would be useful to students or scientists who are interested in in vivo cell migration and perhaps for cell biologists looking for an appropriate in vivo system to study the function of a specific protein, or the relevance of in vitro findings. ... provide a helpful summary of the field and outline the open questions."
Nature Cellbiology
"... intellectually stimulating...an excellent resource for students, experienced researchers, and medical practitioners."
