Preface
Cell migration is a key ingredient of organized life forms. It plays a key role both during embryo development and during adult life where is important in many physiological processes, such as the immune response or wound healing, as well as in pathological conditions like cancer. Improvements in microscopy techniques together with the possibility to carry out quantitative analysis by tracking cells in vitro or in vivo using animal models have opened a new perspective o
