A protein that helps generate the force needed for single cells to move works differently in cells moving in groups, a new study shows. A protein that helps generate the force needed for single cells ...

Some cells, such as immune cells, are highly mobile—they constantly remodel their shape, migrate toward a wound that needs to be closed or chase down bacteria in the bloodstream. This mobility is ...

Cells aren’t as passive as scientists once thought—they actively create internal currents to move proteins quickly and ...

The cells in our bodies move in groups during biological processes such as wound healing and tissue development - but because of resistance, or viscosity, those cells can't just neatly glide past each ...

In wound healing, immune response, and cancer metastasis, cells migrate through the body—often squeezing through narrow, confined spaces. Together with experimental collaborators, Professor David ...

In tumors, cells follow microscopic fibers, comparable to following roads through a city. Researchers at Rochester Institute of Technology developed a new technique to study different features of ...

Pictured here is a group of cells moving toward its correct final position in the tail of a forming zebrafish embryo. Cell membranes are green and the cell nuclei red. A protein that helps generate ...
