“This book presents several techniques to study cells migration in vivo, in vitro, ex vivo and with different model systems to dissect many of the biochemical and biophysical properties (at both molecular and cellular levels) involved in the dynamics of migration and cell-to-cell communication. … the editor of this book did a great job in collecting contributions where several animal models are presented.” (Manuela Monti, European Journal of Histochemistry, Vol. 63 (01), 2019)
