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

Immune surveillance and effective host defence depend on the capacity of leukocytes and antigen-presenting cells to migrate through complex tissue environments. At the core of this migration lies ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
