Abstract
Tissues are stable arrangements of cells capable of active motility. One problem of interest involves the mechanisms that prevent tissue cells from employing these inherent motile capabilities to wander from the home tissue. Intercellular invasion, which is the translocation of cells into space already occupied by another tissue, is the converse of tissue stability. Another problem is the mechanisms important in invasion.
