Chemotaxis is the phenomenon by which cell movement is directed in response to an extracellular chemical gradient. Factors that mediate chemotaxis are frequently mutated in cancer. Although most of ...

Bacterial chemotaxis is the biasing of movement towards environments that contain higher concentrations of beneficial, or lower concentrations of toxic, chemicals. The signalling pathway that is ...

Chemotactic migration and invasion play an essential role in many normal and pathological processes including immune response, cell differentiation, and tumor metastasis. Methods to study factors that ...

Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is a major barrier to successful allogeneic hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (HSCT). The chemokine receptor CCR5 appears to play a role in alloreactivity. We ...

SIAM Journal on Applied Mathematics, Vol. 75, No. 2 (2015), pp. 275-288 (14 pages) Chemotaxis refers to the directed movement of cells in response to a chemical signal called chemoattractant. A ...

Cells intuitively avoided dead-ends when released into microscopic mazes. Here's how. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. For a ...

An all-on-chip method enables rapid neutrophil chemotaxis assay directly from a few microliters of blood for both cell migration research and clinical sample test. A team of researchers from the ...

To measure directional migration, the Transwell ® Boyden chamber has been widely regarded as the mainstay in vitro method. However, it is known for being technically tricky, hard to troubleshoot, and ...

Mice are especially good at sniffing out cheese in a maze, and a new study reveals their sperm are just as good at tracking an egg cell's scent. Even when ovary extracts were extremely diluted, sperm ...
