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 ...

Cells can be thought of as cities, with factories, a transport system, and lots of building activity. An international team led by scientists at the University of Groningen studied cells growing under ...

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 ...

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 ...

Cancer cell movement during metastasis is a dynamic process regulated by several different signals. However, the way cells receive, process and respond to these signals has been extremely hard to ...

Scientists at Oregon Health & Science University have uncovered a previously unknown system of internal "trade winds" that help cells rapidly move essential proteins to the front of the cell, ...

Ongoing fundamental research on cancer cells could be used to create new drugs and therapies that fight the spread of cancer cells. The work of Dr. Tanmay Lele, joint faculty in chemical engineering, ...

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 ...
