By moving around, some cancer cells force attacking immune cells to just nibble at the edges A leukemia cell (green in this false-color fluorescence microscopy video) evades being eaten by an immune cell (blue) by constantly moving. Instead of engulfing the cancer cell, the immune cell can only nibble at its edges. Listen to this article This is a human-written story voiced by AI. Got feedback? Take our survey .

These evasive maneuvers — caught on video using fluorescence microscopy — seem to prompt immune cells to nibble at the edges of a cancer cell rather than engulf it completely. It’s a stunt that ultimately lets cancer cells slip away and go free. “We’re suggesting that motility plays a role in ess
