A study describing how cells within blood vessel walls move en masse overturns an assumption common in the age of genomics -- that the proteins driving cell behavior are doing so much multitasking that it would be near impossible to group them according to a few discrete functions. But now researchers have shown that distinct groups of proteins each control one of four simple activities involved in the cells' collective migration.
