"So Ayala put spinal nerves from a mouse in a dish next to human prostate cancer cells. What he saw was a symbiotic dance: Before the cancer colony invaded the nerves, the nerves reached out to the cancer. They elongated toward the cancer cells and grew into the colony's midst. In turn, the cancer cell colony ballooned. The attraction, it seemed, was mutual."
