Automated Real-Time Measurement of Chemotactic Cell Motility

BioTechniques, 2001
We have developed a novel method, (ECIS/taxis), for monitoring cell movement in response to chemotactic and chemokinetic factors. In this system, cells migrate in an under-agarose environment, and their positions are monitored using the electric cell ...

Synergistic effect of CNTF and GDNF on directed neurite growth in chick embryo dorsal root ganglia.

PLoS ONE, 2020
It is often critical to improve the limited regenerative capacity of the peripheral nerves and direct neural growth towards specific targets, such as surgically implanted bioengineered constructs.

Chytridiomycosis of marine diatoms : the role of stress physiology and resistance in parasite-host recognition and accumulation of defense molecules [PDF]

, 2017
Little is known about the role of chemotaxis in the location and attachment of chytrid zoospores to potential diatom hosts. Hypothesizing that environmental stress parameters affect parasite-host recognition, four chytrid-diatom tandem cultures ...

HiSAT: A Novel Method for the Rapid Diagnosis of Allergy

Bio-Protocol, 2022
To identify causative substances for allergies to drugs or foods, the lymphocyte transformation test (LTT) is currently widely used as in vitro test, but its accuracy is not satisfactory.

A novel chemotactic factor derived from the extracellular matrix protein decorin recruits mesenchymal stromal cells in vitro and in vivo.

PLoS ONE, 2020
Soft tissue is composed of cells surrounded by an extracellular matrix that is made up of a diverse array of intricately organized proteins. These distinct components work in concert to maintain homeostasis and respond to tissue damage.

Endothelin-1 Stimulates Monocytes in vitro to Release Chemotactic Activity Identified as Interleukin-8 and Monocyte Chemotactic Protein-1

Mediators of Inflammation, 1994
In the present study we examined whether endothelin-1 stimulation of human monocytes causes release of chemotactic factors. It was found that monocytes released neutrophil- and monocyte-chemotactic activity in a dose- and time-dependent manner in ...

Host transcriptional responses following ex vivo re-challenge with Mycobacterium tuberculosis vary with disease status. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
The identification of immune correlates that are predictive of disease outcome for tuberculosis remains an ongoing challenge. To address this issue, we evaluated gene expression profiles from peripheral blood mononuclear cells following ex vivo challenge

A multiscale hybrid model for pro-angiogenic calcium signals in a vascular endothelial cell [PDF]

, 2012
Cytosolic calcium machinery is one of the principal signaling mechanisms by which endothelial cells (ECs) respond to external stimuli during several biological processes, including vascular progression in both physiological and pathological conditions ...

Contribution of corneal neovascularization to dendritic cell migration into the central area during human corneal infection. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Compared with the peripheral corneal limbus, the human central cornea lacks blood vessels, which is responsible for its immunologically privileged status and high transparency.

Chemotactic Activity in Dialyzable Transfer Factor [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1974
Dialyzable transfer factor from human leukocytes was found to be strongly chemotactic for granulocytes and weakly chemotactic for monocytes in vitro . Chemotactic properties were also demonstrated in vivo in rhesus monkey skin.
