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 ...

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 ...

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.

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.

THE CHEMOSUPPRESSION OF CHEMOTAXIS [PDF]
The Journal of Experimental Medicine, 1966 The effects of various drugs on chemotaxis of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN's) in vitro and in vivo have been studied. Response of rabbit PMN's in vitro to the chemotactic factor of rabbit serum, consisting of an activated protein-protein complex of the fifth and sixth (and probably seventh) components of complement (C'), is suppressed by ...

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.

Mechanisms involved in human eosinophil chemotaxis induced by the newly cloned C-C chemokine eotaxin
Allergology International, 1998 The present study was performed in order to investigate the mechanism(s) involved in eotaxin-induced normal human eosinophil chemotaxis using a 48-well micro-chemotaxis chamber assay.

Enhancer of zeste homolog 2 enhances the migration and chemotaxis of dental mesenchymal stem cells
Journal of International Medical Research, 2020 Objective To investigate the function of enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2) in the migration and chemotaxis of human dental tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells. Methods The expression of EZH2, C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 11 (CXCL11), CXCL16, and CXCR1
