Modelling cell movement and chemotaxis pseudopod based feedback [PDF]
A computational framework is presented for the simulation of eukaryotic cell migration and chemotaxis. An empirical pattern formation model, based on a system of non-linear reaction-diffusion equations, is approximated on an evolving cell boundary using ...

Phosphorylation of TGB1 by protein kinase CK2 promotes barley stripe mosaic virus movement in monocots and dicots. [PDF]
The barley stripe mosaic virus (BSMV) triple gene block 1 (TGB1) protein is required for virus cell-to-cell movement. However, little information is available about how these activities are regulated by post-translational modifications. In this study, we

Adult skeletal muscle stem cell migration is mediated by a blebbing/amoeboid mechanism [PDF]
Adult skeletal muscle possesses a resident stem cell population called satellite cells which are responsible for tissue repair following damage. Satellite cell migration is crucial in promoting rapid tissue regeneration but is a poorly understood ...

SUMO wrestling in cell movement [PDF]
Small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO) proteins 1, 2 and 3 can be covalently conjugated to specific lysine residues on target proteins in a process dubbed SUMOylation. This conserved posttranslational modification that was reported for the first time in 1996 has emerged as an important regulatory mechanism in cell physiology, especially in nuclear ...

Effect of protein kinase N1 on the biological behavior of human glioma
Objective To study the expression of protein kinase N1 (PKN1) in glioma and its influence on the biological behavior of glioma cells. Methods The expression of PKN1 gene was verified via GEPIA database, and LN229, U87 and A172 gliomas cells were detected

Modeling cell movement in anisotropic and heterogeneous network tissues [PDF]
Cell motion and interaction with the extracellular matrix is studied deriving a kinetic model and considering its diffusive limit. The model takes into account of chemotactic and haptotactic effects, and obtains friction as a result of the interactions ...

Malaria is a disease caused by Plasmodium parasites, resulting in over 200 million infections and 400,000 deaths every year. A critical step of malaria infection is when sporozoites, injected by mosquitoes, travel to the liver and form liver stages ...

Exosomes released from breast cancer carcinomas stimulate cell movement [PDF]
For metastasis to occur cells must communicate with to their local environment to initiate growth and invasion. Exosomes have emerged as an important mediator of cell-to-cell signalling through the transfer of molecules such as mRNAs, microRNAs, and ...

Modelling cell motility and chemotaxis with evolving surface finite elements [PDF]
We present a mathematical and a computational framework for the modelling of cell motility. The cell membrane is represented by an evolving surface, with the movement of the cell determined by the interaction of various forces that act normal to the ...
