  text: Guided cell movement is essential for development and integrity of animals
    and crucially involved in cellular immune responses. Leukocytes are professional
    migratory cells that can navigate through most types of tissues and sense a wide
    range of directional cues. The responses of these cells to attractants have been
    mainly explored in tissue culture settings. How leukocytes make directional decisions
    in situ, within the challenging environment of a tissue maze, is less understood.
    Here we review recent advances in how leukocytes sense chemical cues in complex
    tissue settings and make links with paradigms of directed migration in development
    and Dictyostelium discoideum amoebae.
