Langerhans function as a metabolic syncytium, secreting insulin in a
coordinated and oscillatory manner in response to external fuel. With
increased glucose, the oscillatory amplitude is enhanced, leading to

Here we show that macrophages and tumor cells are necessary and sufficient for comigration and in   Breast     MTLN3-GFP Goswami, Sumanta Sumanta Goswami, Erik Sahai, Jeffrey B.
