The Rho family of small GTPases is known to be important for the regulation of cell motility. A recent paper by Chris Marshall and colleagues published in Cell has shown that differential activation ...

Metastatic dissemination is the main cause of cancer deaths. Cell migration and invasion underlie the complex set of events that are required for metastasis to succeed. Cancer cells can disseminate ...

Calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) gathers inside a growing membrane bleb, creating a local increase in water pressure. This pressure draws in water and pushes the cell membrane ...

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 ...

WASHINGTON, D.C., October 31, 2017 -- Rhythmic patterns and precise motions -- these are key elements of proper swimming. Olympians demonstrate repeated patterns of breathing, with synchronized head, ...

Rhythmic patterns and precise motions are key elements of proper swimming, and comparable demonstrations of this pattern repetition and power usage can be seen in a microscopic swimmer -- the amoeboid ...

Bacteria are able to translocate by a variety of mechanisms, independently or in combination, utilizing flagella or filopodia to swim, by amoeboid movement, or by gliding, twitching, or swarming. They ...
