Using cancer cells as logic gates to determine what makes them move

Cancer cells migrate through the body for multiple reasons; some are simply following the flow of a fluid, while others are actively following specific chemical trails. So how do you determine which cells are moving and why? Purdue University researchers have reverse-engineered a cellular signal processing system and used it like a logic gate—a simple computer—to better understand what causes specific cells to migrate.
