Modelling of chemotactic sprouting endothelial cells through an extracellular matrix
Sprouting angiogenesis is a core biological process critical to vascular development. Its accurate simulation, relevant to multiple facets of human health, is of broad, interdisciplinary appeal.

Background/purpose: Eosinophils are recruited to the brain of mice after infection with Angiostrongylus canonensis. Several factors produced by infected mice are well known playing the role to chemoattract eosinophils from the blood into the brain.

Melanoma cells break down LPA to establish local gradients that drive chemotactic dispersal. [PDF]
The high mortality of melanoma is caused by rapid spread of cancer cells, which occurs unusually early in tumour evolution. Unlike most solid tumours, thickness rather than cytological markers or differentiation is the best guide to metastatic potential.

Osteoclasts control osteoblast chemotaxis via PDGF-BB/PDGF receptor beta signaling. [PDF]
Bone remodeling relies on the tightly regulated interplay between bone forming osteoblasts and bone digesting osteoclasts. Several studies have now described the molecular mechanisms by which osteoblasts control osteoclastogenesis and bone degradation ...

Modulación de la expresión de la L-selectina por agentes quimiotácticos y GM-CSF
La L-selectina es una molécula de adhesión que se expresa constitutivamente en la membrana de los granulocitos, monocitos y linfocitos, células en las cuales interviene en los procesos iniciales de migración hacia los sitios de inflamación y órganos ...

Denervated Schwann cells attract macrophages by secretion of leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 in a process regulated by interleukin-6 and LIF [PDF]
Injury to peripheral nerves results in the infiltration of immune cells, which remove axonal- and myelin-derived material. Schwann cells could play a key role in this process by regulating macrophage infiltration.

Physical constraints on accuracy and persistence during breast cancer cell chemotaxis [PDF]
Directed cell motion in response to an external chemical gradient occurs in many biological phenomena such as wound healing, angiogenesis, and cancer metastasis.

Severity of experimental escherichia-coli mastitis in ketonemic and nonketonemic dairy-cows. [PDF]
The severity of experimental Escherichia coli mastitis in relation to in vitro chemotaxis of polymorphonuclear leukocytes was investigated in cows during negative energy balance. The negative energy balance was induced by feed restriction.

Identification of the YfgF MASE1 domain as a modulator of bacterial responses to aspartate [PDF]
Complex 3'-5'-cyclic diguanylic acid (c-di-GMP) responsive regulatory networks that are modulated by the action of multiple diguanylate cyclases (DGC; GGDEF domain proteins) and phosphodiesterases (PDE; EAL domain proteins) have evolved in many bacteria.
