The UPV/EHU researcher Ildefonso Martínez de la Fuente has led an exhaustive analysis of the locomotion trajectories of 700 individual cells using advanced scientific techniques to demonstrate that ...

Cells can spontaneously change shape even without external signals, but the underlying mechanisms behind this form of ...

Cell movement is an essential biological process, whether it's cancer cells metastasizing to other parts of the body or immune cells migrating to heal a wound. However, the principle by which cells ...

Cells can be thought of as cities, with factories, a transport system, and lots of building activity. An international team led by scientists at the University of Groningen studied cells growing under ...

The cytoskeleton gives cells their shape and helps them move. Researchers at Helmholtz Munich and Ludwig Maximilian University now show that, in neural stem cells, proteins of the cytoskeleton are ...

Individually migrating cells rely on core mechanisms to turn discrete subcellular movements into coordinated action and productive translocation 1,2,3,4. For example, mesenchymal migration of a single ...

Scientists have discovered how chemokines and G protein-coupled receptors selectively bind each other to control how cells move. Scientists from St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and the Medical ...

Cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide, marked by the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells. What makes it more dangerous is the ability of cancer cells to move quickly through the ...

Five zebrafish embryos in a tiny drop of water. The yolk sac is clearly visible, with the first two cells located at its tip. Hair, nails, and horns, all made up of keratin, are some of the hardest ...

Researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center led a study to develop a computational method that reveals how immune cells ...
