Traditional electrotaxis assays place electrodes directly into the cell culture medium, which inevitably drives current through the sample.

Konstanz researchers identify an enzyme that plays a role in the migration of cells in our body—not only during normal tissue formation and wound healing, but also when tumor cells metastasize. This ...

A new study integrated mathematical modeling with advanced imaging to discover that the physical shape of the fruit fly egg chamber, combined with chemical signals, significantly influences how cells ...

Hair, nails, and horns, all made up of keratin, are some of the hardest and most resilient structures in animals. Inside zebrafish cells, keratin plays a distinct role, giving them the strength they ...

How do cells move from A to B through our body to build functional tissues? And how is this process regulated? The answers to these questions are essential – for example, for our understanding of how ...

Like schools of fish and flocks of birds, our cells can also migrate collectively in coordination with their neighbors. This ...

Unlike our organs, cell organelles such as mitochondria are not fixed in place, but when, where, how, and why organelles move remain unclear. Research published in the Biophysical Journal shows that ...

Like schools of fish and flocks of birds, our cells too can migrate collectively in coordination with their neighbors. This harmonious ...
