Cells navigate complex tissue landscapes by integrating biochemical cues, mechanical forces and dynamic adhesions. Single cells may migrate individually through amoeboid or mesenchymal modes, while ...

Immune surveillance and effective host defence depend on the capacity of leukocytes and antigen-presenting cells to migrate through complex tissue environments. At the core of this migration lies ...

A new study, led by Professors Mashaghi and Clevers from Leiden University and Hubrecht Institute in the Netherlands, has introduced a novel approach using intestinal organoids to uncover the ...

Cells only begin to move through the tissue, once a certain ratio of motility to growth rate is exceeded. In biology, it is well-known that cells can switch their motility on or off in response to ...

Biomolecular condensates are distinct molecular communities made of DNA, RNA and proteins that "condense" molecules to key locations inside cells. Intense efforts have focused on uncovering the ...

Bacteria are constantly moving by help of motility organs called flagella or pili to colonize new niches. Also, bacteria can exchange information, like “speaking to each other”, and thus acquire new ...
