Biophysicists have gained a new insight about the dynamics of cellular movement, which is key to processes ranging from stem-cell differentiation and wound healing to the development of diseases such ...

Fluorescent video microscopy reveals the dynamic behavior of a protein found in focal adhesions, cell-surface regions rich with receptors for growth factors and points of attachment with the outside ...

If there’s one thing I’ve learned after nearly two decades working with wellness brands, it’s that longevity is a mindset.

A new imaging technique that makes it possible to match motor proteins with the cargo they carry within a cell is upending a standard view of how cellular traffic reaches the correct destination. The ...

Morphogenetic epithelial movement occurs during embryogenesis and drives complex tissue formation. However, how epithelial cells coordinate their unidirectional movement while maintaining epithelial ...

Biological processes such as wound healing and cancer cell invasion rely on the collective and coordinated motion of living cells. A little understood aspect that influences these processes is the ...

Cell biologists at The Johns Hopkins University have teased apart two integral components of the machinery that causes cells to move. Their discovery shows that cellular projections, which act as ...

This time, dance and music were some of the many tools used to communicate cellular movement. The idea for the ballet, Ibbett said, started when he was looking for ways to merge music and science.

A single human cell teems with as many 100,000 different proteins. Actin is one of the most abundant and essential of them all. This protein forms into filaments that help make up the skeleton of ...
