The cells in our bodies move in groups during biological processes such as wound healing and tissue development—but because of resistance, or viscosity, those cells can't just neatly glide past each ...

Neural crest cells are a population of stem cells that invade the embryo in early development. They play a big role in what ...

Shootin1b and the adhesion molecule transmit weak traction forces which is well-suited for rapid cell migration, presenting a potential target for preventing spread of glioblastoma. "By suppressing ...

Cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide, marked by the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells. What makes it ...

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

How do cells move from A to B through our body to build functional tissues? And how is this process regulated? The answers to these questions are essential – for example, for our understanding of how ...

The gastrointestinal tract is the biggest immune organ in mammals. The gut extends its influence all over the body through various links like the gut-liver axis, the gut-lung axis, and the gut-brain ...

Scientists are looking for answers about how these confounding trips, known as metastases, occur throughout the human body Illustration of a human cancer cell Amber Dance, Knowable Magazine Back in ...

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 ...
