Mechanics of motility initiation and motility arrest in crawling cells
, 2015 Motility initiation in crawling cells requires transformation of a symmetric state into a polarized state. In contrast, motility arrest is associated with re-symmetrization of the internal configuration of a cell.

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.

Exopolysaccharide-independent social motility of Myxococcus xanthus. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Social motility (S motility), the coordinated movement of large cell groups on agar surfaces, of Myxococcus xanthus requires type IV pili (TFP) and exopolysaccharides (EPS).

Modelling biological invasions: individual to population scales at interfaces [PDF]
, 2013 Extracting the population level behaviour of biological systems from that of the individual is critical in understanding dynamics across multiple scales and thus has been the subject of numerous investigations.

Coupling fission and exit of RAB6 vesicles at Golgi hotspots through kinesin-myosin interactions
Nature Communications, 2017 Actin and microtubules play important roles in Golgi structure and function but how they are connected is poorly understood. Here the authors show that KIF20A is involved in the fission process and, in association with Myosin II, serves to anchor RAB6 on

A cell behavior screen: identification, sorting, and enrichment of cells based on motility
BMC Cell Biology, 2005 Background Identifying and isolating cells with specific behavioral characteristics will facilitate the understanding of the molecular basis regulating these behaviors.

eLifeTransport and localization of melanosome at the periphery region of melanocyte are depended on myosin-5a (Myo5a), which associates with melanosome by interacting with its adaptor protein melanophilin (Mlph).

Neoplasia: An International Journal for Oncology Research, 2012 Taxanes are potent inhibitors of cell motility, a property implicated in their antiangiogenic and antimetastatic activity and unrelated to their antiproliferative effect. The molecular mechanism of this anti-motility activity is poorly understood.

Active Gel Model of Amoeboid Cell Motility
, 2013 We develop a model of amoeboid cell motility based on active gel theory. Modeling the motile apparatus of a eukaryotic cell as a confined layer of finite length of poroelastic active gel permeated by a solvent, we first show that, due to active stress ...

Collective and single cell behavior in epithelial contact inhibition [PDF]
, 2011 Control of cell proliferation is a fundamental aspect of tissue physiology central to morphogenesis, wound healing and cancer. Although many of the molecular genetic factors are now known, the system level regulation of growth is still poorly understood.
