Published online in Nature Cell Biology on February 14, a new study found in a living embryo that the back ends of moving cell groups push the group forward.

Key Points: 
  • Published online in Nature Cell Biology on February 14, a new study found in a living embryo that the back ends of moving cell groups push the group forward.
  • This runs contrary to previous findings, where cell groups grown in dishes of nutrients (cultures) pulled themselves forward with their front edges.
  • The integrin clusters (focal adhesions) observed in the embryo were smaller than those seen in culture studies, and broke down faster.
  • Confirmation of such mechanistic details in living tissue have important implications, say the researchers, as many cancers spread in cell groups, and may use the newfound "rear engine propulsion."
