One-dimensional cell motility patterns
Physical Review Research, 2020 During migration, cells exhibit a rich variety of seemingly random migration patterns, which makes unraveling the underlying mechanisms that control cell migration a difficult challenge. For efficient migration, cells require a mechanism for polarization,

The tetraspanins CD9 and CD81 regulate CD9P1-induced effects on cell migration. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 CD9P-1 is a cell surface protein with immunoglobulin domains and an unknown function that specifically associates with tetraspanins CD9 and CD81. Overexpression of CD9P-1 in HEK-293 cells induces dramatic changes in cell spreading and migration on ...

Effects of surface passivation on gliding motility assays [PDF]
, 2010 In this study, we report differences in the observed gliding speed of microtubules dependent on the choice of bovine casein used as a surface passivator.

Nature Communications, 2016 Establishment and maintenance of apico-basal polarity in epithelial organs needs to be tightly coupled with cell division. Here the authors show that the Rab35 GTPase tethers intracellular vesicles containing key apical determinants at the cleavage site,

Cell Migration with Multiple Pseudopodia: Temporal and Spatial Sensing Models [PDF]
, 2013 Cell migration triggered by pseudopodia (or “false feet”) is the most used method of locomotion. A 3D finite element model of a cell migrating over a 2D substrate is proposed, with a particular focus on the mechanical aspects of the biological phenomenon.

Quantification of cell edge velocities and traction forces reveals distinct motility modules during cell spreading. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2008 Actin-based cell motility and force generation are central to immune response, tissue development, and cancer metastasis, and understanding actin cytoskeleton regulation is a major goal of cell biologists.

Regulation of cell migration by dynamic microtubules [PDF]
, 2011 Microtubules define the architecture and internal organization of cells by positioning organelles and activities, as well as by supporting cell shape and mechanics. One of the major functions of microtubules is the control of polarized cell motility.

Novel Cell Motility of Protozoa Living in the Hindgut of Termites
Journal of Trial and ErrorA symbiotic protozoan in the hindgut of termites was accidentally discovered. Its head and body continuously rotated in opposite directions without stopping or reversing directions. Rotations included the plasma membrane of each part of the cell, and the

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).
