Structures inside cells influence everything from individual cell movement to an organism’s metabolism. They include the cytoskeleton, a dynamic internal protein network that gives cells their shape ...

Cell phone bans in school are ramping up as more states consider policies that have been cheered by many educators but still ...

This movement is against the concentration gradient so the transport proteins require an energy supply. Energy is provided by the breakdown of ATP inside the cell. This diagram shows molecules ...

Scientists reveal how filopodia help cancer spread. The breakthrough could improve treatments that stop cancer cells from invading tissues.

How cells utilize electric fields to guide their migration during embryonic development. As an embryo develops, cells ...

Collective cell migration is defined as the coordinated movement of multiple cells that retain cell–cell contacts while coordinating their actin dynamics and intracellular signalling.

Our analysis is motivated by three central questions: How do cells establish asymmetry? How does this asymmetry mobilize the cytoskeleton to promote cell movement? And what is the spatial information ...
