Hybrid cells cause chaos around cancers

Like all cells, those in tumors need access to the body's fine network of blood vessels to bring them oxygen and carry away waste. Tumors have learned to game the process called angiogenesis in which new vessels sprout from existing ones, like branches from a tree. Now, researchers have built a simulation to understand how cancerous tumors manipulate blood-vessel growth.
