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 ...

Cell migration, or how cells move in the body, is essential to both normal body function and disease progression. Cell movement is what allows body parts to grow in the right place during early ...

Cells can control their ability to move through the body by using a protein called fascin to control the stiffness of neighbouring cells, suggests a new study. Cells can control their ability to move ...

BrainAlignNet, AutoCellLabeler, and CellDiscoveryNet—to automatically track and identify neurons in moving worms and jellyfish.

An international team of scientists involving the UPF Laboratory of Molecular Physiology, has discovered how cancer cells exposed to high viscosity environments change the way they move to improve ...

Behavior of a spherical capsule in a pulsatile flow. A single capsule moving in the direction of the flow is superimposed. Fukuoka, Japan—As you read this sentence, trillions of cells are moving ...

A study focusing on analyzing cell models found universality in their movement—an important discovery that could impact both health and robotics. The study "Evidence of universal conformal invariance ...

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 ...

Cells push and pull on surrounding tissue to move in groups as they form organs in an embryo, track down invading bacteria, and become cancerous and spread. Published online in Nature Cell Biology on ...
