Chemotaxis is the phenomenon by which cell movement is directed in response to an extracellular chemical gradient. Factors that mediate chemotaxis are frequently mutated in cancer. Although most of ...

Bacteria existed for millennia before humans and have been infecting us from the beginning. Although we can treat infections through pharmaceuticals, bacteria continue to become resistant to treatment ...

Our bodies are made up of trillions of different cells, each fulfilling their own unique function to keep us alive. How do cells move around inside these extremely complicated systems? How do they ...

Chemotactic migration and invasion play an essential role in many normal and pathological processes including immune response, cell differentiation, and tumor metastasis. Methods to study factors that ...

The intricate mechanisms that allow certain cells to move have been uncovered by researchers, discoveries with implications for cancer metastasis, say authors of a new report. What if cancer cells ...

Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is a major barrier to successful allogeneic hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (HSCT). The chemokine receptor CCR5 appears to play a role in alloreactivity. We ...

An all-on-chip method enables rapid neutrophil chemotaxis assay directly from a few microliters of blood for both cell migration research and clinical sample test. A team of researchers from the ...

Users can examine both label-free and fluorescently labeled chemotactic cell invasion or migration and qualitatively assess the morphology of individual cells in each well of an Incucyte® 96-well ...

To measure directional migration, the Transwell ® Boyden chamber has been widely regarded as the mainstay in vitro method. However, it is known for being technically tricky, hard to troubleshoot, and ...

A team of researchers from the University of Manitoba in collaboration with local clinical scientists in Winnipeg, Canada, have developed a new method for rapid neutrophil chemotaxis test directly ...
