Imagine cells navigating through a complex maze, guided by chemical signals and the physical landscape of their environment.

In mechanobiology, cells' forces have been considered fundamental to their enhanced function, including fast migration. But a group of researchers in the McKelvey School of Engineering at ...

Cell migration within the body is a fundamental biological phenomenon. Immune cells constantly scout for pathogens, and cancer cells migrate through the body, causing metastasis. Inside the body ...

During mesenchymal migration, a cancer cell moves like a gecko on a wall. Before choosing this mode of movement, the cell sizes up the surface to which it may stick, explained physicist Nadir Kaplan.

There is significant data to support the theory that the wound healing capability of cells is frequently highjack during cancer progression, where tumors migrate through an invasive migration process ...

This bustle is guided by chemical cues long studied by scientists interested in cellular migration. Cells move constantly throughout our bodies, performing myriad operations critical to tissue ...

The scientists used that information to change chemokine-GPCR binding preferences artificially and alter the resulting cell migration. This type of understanding may improve disease treatment ...

Yizeng Li receives funding from National Science Foundation. Cell migration, or how cells move in the body, is essential to both normal body function and disease progression. Cell movement is what ...

Dr. Brüning-Richardson's research is investigating using new drug combinations to prevent or reduce the migration of cancer cells that remain after surgery. The research team hopes to prevent any ...

A large group of young nerve cells moves into the frontal lobe during infants’ first few months of life, scientists report in the Oct. 7 Science. The mass migration might help explain how human ...
