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 ...

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 ...

Engineers have created new technology that can move cells without touching them, enabling critical tasks that currently require large pieces of lab equipment to be carried out on a benchtop device.

Mouse red blood cells infected with the parasite Babesia microti acquired the ability to move, offering new insight into host-pathogen interactions.

The spread of tumor from the primary cancer site to distant organs, called metastasis, has puzzled scientists for many years—they are only now beginning to pinpoint triggers and mechanisms that drive ...

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 ...

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 ...

To decide whether and where to move in the body, cells must read chemical signals in their environment. Individual cells do not act alone during this process, two new studies on mouse mammary tissue ...

Pictured here is a group of cells moving toward its correct final position in the tail of a forming zebrafish embryo. Cell membranes are green and the cell nuclei red. A protein that helps generate ...
