ONLINE COVER This week, Udayasuryan et al. show that infection of normal and malignant pancreatic cells with the oral commensal microbe Fusobacterium nucleatum induces cytokine release that promotes migration and invasion by the cancer cells. In the pseudocolored scanning electron microscopy image, F. nucleatum (orange) are seen binding to and invading pancreatic cancer cells (purple).

Research
Science Signaling is a weekly, online journal for the life sciences. We publish studies that uncover basic mechanisms underlying biological processes in all organisms. We are particularly interested in studies that provide new insights into physiology, delineate mechanisms that cause disease, identify potential therapeutic targets and strategies, and characterize the effects of drugs.
