Biophysicists have gained a new insight about the dynamics of cellular movement, which is key to processes ranging from stem-cell differentiation and wound healing to the development of diseases such ...

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 ...

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 ...

Biomedical engineers at Duke University have significantly enhanced the capabilities of a computational model that simulates the movement of individual cancer cells across long distances within the ...

Researchers shifted the focus to the internal properties of the membrane itself, specifically its viscosity, highlighting its critical role in controlling deformation and dynamics during essential ...

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 ...

This time, dance and music were some of the many tools used to communicate cellular movement. The idea for the ballet, Ibbett said, started when he was looking for ways to merge music and science.

Senior co-corresponding author M. Madan Babu, PhD, FRS, St. Jude Senior Vice President of Data Science and Center of Excellence for Data-Driven Discovery director, Department of Structural Biology and ...

A single human cell teems with as many 100,000 different proteins. Actin is one of the most abundant and essential of them all. This protein forms into filaments that help make up the skeleton of ...
