Ca2+ signaling regulates physiological processes including chemotaxis in eukaryotes and prokaryotes. Its inhibition has formed the basis for control of human disease but remains largely unexplored for plant disease.

An improved chamber for direct visualisation of chemotaxis [PDF]
There has been a growing appreciation over the last decade that chemotaxis plays an important role in cancer migration, invasion and metastasis. Research into the field of cancer cell chemotaxis is still in its infancy and traditional investigative tools

Bacterial chemotaxis affords motile bacteria the ability to navigate the environment to locate niches for growth and survival. At the molecular level, chemotaxis depends on chemoreceptor signaling arrays that interact with cytoplasmic proteins to control

Chemotaxis- and locomotion-test plates.
(A) Schematic of a chemotaxis-test plate used for chemotaxis assays, except for tracking analyses of worm locomotion. Fifteen to two hundred worms were used in each assay.

Neutrophil migration in tissues critically regulates the human immune response and can either play a protective role in host defense or cause health problems. Microfluidic chips are increasingly applied to study neutrophil migration, attributing to their

Chemotaxis: a feedback-based computational model robustly predicts multiple aspects of real cell behaviour [PDF]
The mechanism of eukaryotic chemotaxis remains unclear despite intensive study. The most frequently described mechanism acts through attractants causing actin polymerization, in turn leading to pseudopod formation and cell movement.

Most chemotactic motile bacteria possess multiple chemotaxis signaling systems, the functions of which are not well characterized. Chemotaxis signaling is initiated by chemoreceptors that assemble as large arrays, together with chemotaxis coupling ...

Developmental aspects of monocyte and neutrophil chemotaxis were evaluated by the agarose and the Boyden chamber methods. Simultaneous measurements of both the distances and the cell counts were carried out by the agarose method. Before 6 years of age monocyte chemotaxis values, determined by the Boyden chamber method, were significantly lower than ...

AbstractDuring eukaryotic chemotaxis, external chemical gradients guide the crawling motion of cells. This process plays an important role in a large variety of biological systems and has wide ranging medical implications. New experimental techniques including confocal microscopy and microfluidics have advanced our understanding of chemotaxis while ...
