PLoS Biology, 2016 Chemotaxis is fundamentally important, but the sources of gradients in vivo are rarely well understood. Here, we analyse self-generated chemotaxis, in which cells respond to gradients they have made themselves by breaking down globally available ...

An agarose spot assay for chemotactic invasion
BioTechniques, 2010 The directed motility of cells toward the source of a soluble chemical (chemotaxis) plays a role in events ranging from immune function to cancer progression.

Exact traveling wave solutions of 1D parabolic-parabolic models of chemotaxis [PDF]
, 2017 In this paper we consider three different 1D parabolic-parabolic systems of chemotaxis. For these systems we obtain the exact analytical solutions in terms of traveling wave variables.

Sub-logistic source can prevent blow-up in the 2D minimal Keller-Segel chemotaxis system
, 2017 It is well-known that the Neumann initial-boundary value problem for the minimal-chemotaxis-logistic system in a 2D bounded smooth domain has no blow-up for any choice of parameters. Here, for a large class of kinetic terms including sub-logistic sources,

Exosome secretion promotes chemotaxis of cancer cells
Cell Adhesion & Migration, 2017 Migration of cells toward chemical cues, or chemotaxis, is important for many biologic processes such as immune defense, wound healing and cancer metastasis.

Protein‐Like Polymers Targeting Keap1/Nrf2 as Therapeutics for Myocardial Infarction
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.We describe a Keap1 targeting protein‐like polymer (PLP) which activates Nrf2, an important cytoprotective transcription factor for relieving myocardial infarction‐induced oxidative stress. This PLP increases cell survival in vitro in multiple relevant cardiac cell types and elicits pro‐reparative responses, improving cardiac function in a preclinical ...

Chemotaxis of bio-hybrid multiple bacteria-driven microswimmers
Scientific Reports, 2016 In this study, in a bio-hybrid microswimmer system driven by multiple Serratia marcescens bacteria, we quantify the chemotactic drift of a large number of microswimmers towards L-serine and elucidate the associated collective chemotaxis behavior by ...
