Sperm chemotaxis in marine invertebrates and mammals

open access: yesReproductive and Developmental Medicine, 2017
Sperm respond to multiple chemical factors derived from the eggs and reorient their migratory direction – a process called chemotaxis. The chemotaxis of sperm in marine invertebrates has been established well.

TRPM2 ion channels steer neutrophils towards a source of hydrogen peroxide

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
Neutrophils must navigate accurately towards pathogens in order to destroy invaders and thus defend our bodies against infection. Here we show that hydrogen peroxide, a potent neutrophil chemoattractant, guides chemotaxis by activating calcium-permeable ...

Artemisinin inhibits neutrophil and macrophage chemotaxis, cytokine production and NET release [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
Immune cell chemotaxis to the sites of pathogen invasion is critical for fighting infection, but in life-threatening conditions such as sepsis and Covid-19, excess activation of the innate immune system is thought to cause a damaging invasion of immune ...

Drug targeting to decrease cardiotoxicity – determination of the cytotoxic effect of GnRH-based conjugates containing doxorubicin, daunorubicin and methotrexate on human cardiomyocytes and endothelial cells

open access: yesBeilstein Journal of Organic Chemistry, 2018
Background: Cardiomyopathy induced by the chemotherapeutic agents doxorubicin and daunorubicin is a major limiting factor for their application in cancer therapy.

Metabolic products of soluble epoxide hydrolase are essential for monocyte chemotaxis to MCP-1 in vitro and in vivo

open access: yesJournal 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 ...

Chemotactic network responses to live bacteria show independence of phagocytosis from chemoreceptor sensing

open access: yeseLife, 2017
Aspects of innate immunity derive from characteristics inherent to phagocytes, including chemotaxis toward and engulfment of unicellular organisms or cell debris.

A new class of protein sensor links spirochete pleomorphism, persistence, and chemotaxis

open access: yesmBio, 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

open access: yesFrontiers 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.

Fractional chemotaxis diffusion equations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
We introduce mesoscopic and macroscopic model equations of chemotaxis with anomalous subdiffusion for modeling chemically directed transport of biological organisms in changing chemical environments with diffusion hindered by traps or macromolecular ...
