Caffeine Inhibits EGF-Stimulated Trophoblast Cell Motility through the Inhibition of mTORC2 and Akt [PDF]
, 2012 Impaired trophoblast invasion is associated with pregnancy disorders such as early pregnancy loss and preeclampsia. There is evidence to suggest that the consumption of caffeine during pregnancy may increase the risk of pregnancy loss; however, little is

Cell Motility and Cancer [PDF]
Cancers, 2020 Cell migration is an essential systemic behavior, tightly regulated, of all living cells endowed with directional motility that is involved in the major developmental stages of all complex organisms such as morphogenesis, embryogenesis, organogenesis, adult tissue remodeling, wound healing, immunological cell activities, angiogenesis, tissue repair ...

The Shape of Motile Cells [PDF]
Current Biology, 2009 Motile cells - fan-like keratocytes, hand-shaped nerve growth cones, polygonal fibroblasts, to name but a few - come in different shapes and sizes. We discuss the origins of this diversity as well as what shape tells us about the physics and biochemistry underlying cell movement.

Journal of Cell Science, 1986 Approximately 20 years have passed since the first isolation of tubulin, dynein and non-muscle actomyosin. During this period actomyosin, microtubule-dynein or microtubules plus other ATPases (kinesin) have been implicated in almost all cellular motile phenomena.

A mathematical model quantifies proliferation and motility effects of TGF--$\beta$ on cancer cells [PDF]
, 2008 Transforming growth factor (TGF) $\beta$ is known to have properties of both a tumor suppressor and a tumor promoter. While it inhibits cell proliferation, it also increases cell motility and decreases cell--cell adhesion.

A self-driven phase transition drives Myxococcus xanthus fruiting body formation [PDF]
, 2019 Combining high-resolution single cell tracking experiments with numerical simulations, we show that starvation-induced fruiting body (FB) formation in Myxococcus xanthus is a phase separation driven by cells that tune their motility over time.

Dense active matter model of motion patterns in confluent cell monolayers [PDF]
, 2020 Epithelial cell monolayers show remarkable displacement and velocity correlations over distances of ten or more cell sizes that are reminiscent of supercooled liquids and active nematics.

Syntaphilin controls a mitochondrial rheostat for proliferation-motility decisions in cancer. [PDF]
, 2017 Tumors adapt to an unfavorable microenvironment by controlling the balance between cell proliferation and cell motility, but the regulators of this process are largely unknown.

Mechanics and polarity in cell motility [PDF]
, 2016 The motility of a fish keratocyte on a flat substrate exhibits two distinct regimes: the non-migrating and the migrating one. In both configurations the shape is fixed in time and, when the cell is moving, the velocity is constant in magnitude and ...
