Cancer begins in your cells, which are the building blocks of your body. Normally, your body forms new cells as you need them, replacing old cells that die. Sometimes this process goes wrong. New cells grow even when you don't need them, and old cells don't die when they should. These extra cells can form a mass called a tumor. Tumors can be benign or malignant. Benign tumors aren't cancer while malignant ones are. Cells from malignant tumors can invade nearby tissues. They can also break away and spread to other parts of the body.

Immune Cell Movement Influenced By Water and Ion Influx

Scientists at the Francis Crick Institute, in collaboration with Imperial College London, King’s College London, and the University of Cambridge, have demonstrated that the influx of water and ions into immune cells enables them to navigate to specific locations in the body.
