Cells navigate complex tissue landscapes by integrating biochemical cues, mechanical forces and dynamic adhesions. Single cells may migrate individually through amoeboid or mesenchymal modes, while ...

Cells across diverse tissues respond to externally or endogenously generated electric fields by polarising their membranes, reorganising cytoskeletal components and activating signal transduction ...

A new study, led by Professors Mashaghi and Clevers from Leiden University and Hubrecht Institute in the Netherlands, has introduced a novel approach using intestinal organoids to uncover the ...

Cells only begin to move through the tissue, once a certain ratio of motility to growth rate is exceeded. In biology, it is well-known that cells can switch their motility on or off in response to ...

Bacteria are constantly moving by help of motility organs called flagella or pili to colonize new niches. Also, bacteria can exchange information, like “speaking to each other”, and thus acquire new ...

Central epithelial nerve fiber density and related architectural metrics remain profoundly reduced up to two years post-LASIK, with parallel increases in mechanical (but not osmotic) sensory ...

Researchers at Tulane University School of Medicine have discovered that if animal cells gain an extra set of chromosomes, a condition known as polyploidy, they activate a stress signaling pathway ...
