Prof. Michael Murrell's group (lead author Zachary Gao Sun, graduate student in physics) in collaboration with Prof. Garegin Papoian's group from the University of Maryland at College Park has found ...

Immune responses rely on the efficient movement of immune cells within the complex and geometrically unpredictable ...

The eukaryotic cell cytoskeleton consists of three distinct species of filamentous structures: microfilaments, intermediate filaments and microtubules, composed mainly of actin, vimentin/keratin ...

Immune responses rely on the efficient movement of immune cells within the complex and geometrically unpredictable three-dimensional tissues that make up our bodies.

Konstanz researchers identify an enzyme that plays a role in the migration of cells in our body—not only during normal tissue ...

Human eggs are some of the most patient cells in the body, lying dormant for decades until needed. A study published today in The EMBO Journal shows that the cells deliberately slow the activity of ...

Rapid assembly of actin filaments is the principal driving force behind many forms of cell locomotion and changes in cell shape. Cells can migrate at rates up to approximately 0.5 µm/s. [2] This ...
