A minimal model of metabolism-based chemotaxis. [PDF]
PLoS Computational Biology, 2010 Since the pioneering work by Julius Adler in the 1960's, bacterial chemotaxis has been predominantly studied as metabolism-independent. All available simulation models of bacterial chemotaxis endorse this assumption.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa Performs Chemotaxis to the Neurotransmitters Serotonin, Dopamine, Epinephrine and Norepinephrine [PDF]
Microbial BiotechnologyBacteria use chemotaxis to move to favourable ecological niches. For many pathogenic bacteria, chemotaxis is required for full virulence, particularly for the initiation of host colonisation. There do not appear to be limits to the type of compounds that

A Deep Learning-Based Model Approach for Quantitative Analysis of Cell Chemotaxis in a Microfluidic Chip [PDF]
SensorsThe rapid and accurate quantitative analysis of cell chemotaxis, which is essential in biology, medicine, and drug development, enables the evaluation of the directional migration capability of cells and the simulation of in vivo cell chemotaxis. However,

Nature Reviews Cancer, 2011 Chemotaxis of tumour cells and stromal cells in the surrounding microenvironment is an essential component of tumour dissemination during progression and metastasis. This Review summarizes how chemotaxis directs the different behaviours of tumour cells and stromal cells in vivo, how molecular pathways regulate chemotaxis in tumour cells and how ...

mBio, 2018 Histamine is a key biological signaling molecule. It acts as a neurotransmitter in the central and peripheral nervous systems and coordinates local inflammatory responses by modulating the activity of different immune cells. During inflammatory processes,

C2GAP2 is a common regulator of Ras signaling for chemotaxis, phagocytosis, and macropinocytosis
Frontiers in Immunology, 2022 Phagocytosis, macropinocytosis, and G protein coupled receptor-mediated chemotaxis are Ras-regulated and actin-driven processes. The common regulator for Ras activity in these three processes remains unknown.

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2021 Chemotaxis, the ability of motile bacteria to direct their movement in gradients of attractants and repellents, plays an important role during the rhizosphere colonization by rhizobacteria. The rhizosphere is a unique niche for plant–microbe interactions.

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021 The origin of multicellular life from unicellular beings is an epochal step in the evolution of eukaryotes. There are several factors influencing cell fate choices during differentiation and morphogenesis of an organism. Genetic make-up of two cells that
