Konstanz researchers identify an enzyme that plays a role in the migration of cells in our body—not only during normal tissue formation and wound healing, but also when tumor cells metastasize. This ...

A new study integrated mathematical modeling with advanced imaging to discover that the physical shape of the fruit fly egg chamber, combined with chemical signals, significantly influences how cells ...

Cell migration is a multistep process essential to various physiological functions, including immune cell movement and embryonic development, as well as pathological conditions like tumor metastasis.

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 ...

As an embryo grows, there is a continuous stream of communication between cells to form tissues and organs. Cells need to read numerous cues from their environment, and these may be chemical or ...

Researchers have discovered how newly created neurons depend on blood flow in the adult brain to travel from their site of origin to their final location. The study in mice, published today in eLife ...
