(https://doi.org/10.1084/jem.20170354) report a mechanism by which the normal epithelial wound healing response is “hijacked” to promote invasion and metastasis in head and neck squamous carcinomas (HNSCCs), a finding that unveils new markers of poor outcomes and potential targets for therapeutic intervention.en-USInsightsJournal Article2018-05-3010.1084/jem.20171556
