Podoplanin is a small mucin-like transmembrane protein, widely expressed in various
specialised cell types throughout the body. Here, we revisit the mechanism of podoplanin-
mediated tumour invasion. We compare molecular pathways leading to single and collective
cell invasion and discuss novel distinct concepts of tumour cell invasion.
