Journal of Lipid Research, 2013 Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1)-induced monocyte chemotaxis is a major event in inflammatory disease. Our prior studies have demonstrated that MCP-1-dependent chemotaxis requires release of arachidonic acid (AA) by activated cytosolic ...

Modelling cell movement and chemotaxis pseudopod based feedback [PDF]
, 2011 A computational framework is presented for the simulation of eukaryotic cell migration and chemotaxis. An empirical pattern formation model, based on a system of non-linear reaction-diffusion equations, is approximated on an evolving cell boundary using ...

A new class of protein sensor links spirochete pleomorphism, persistence, and chemotaxis
mBio, 2023 Pathogenic spirochetes can alter their morphologies and behaviors to infect and survive within their hosts. Previous reports demonstrate that the formation of the so-called “round bodies” and biofilms, and chemotaxis are involved in spirochete ...

The Novel Protein Cj0371 Inhibits Chemotaxis of Campylobacter jejuni
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018 cj0371 is a novel gene that is associated with Campylobacter jejuni virulence, and an isogenic mutant of cj0371 showed hyper chemotaxis and motility. Chemotactic motility is an important virulence factor and is involved in C.

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 ...

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.

On the fractional Fisher information with applications to a hyperbolic-parabolic system of chemotaxis [PDF]
, 2016 We introduce new lower bounds for the fractional Fisher information. Equipped with these bounds we study a hyperbolic-parabolic model of chemotaxis and prove the global existence of solutions in certain dissipation ...

Different migration patterns of sea urchin and mouse sperm revealed by a microfluidic chemotaxis device. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Chemotaxis refers to a process whereby cells move up or down a chemical gradient. Sperm chemotaxis is known to be a strategy exploited by marine invertebrates such as sea urchins to reach eggs efficiently in moving water.
