Melanoma cells break down LPA to establish local gradients that drive chemotactic dispersal. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The high mortality of melanoma is caused by rapid spread of cancer cells, which occurs unusually early in tumour evolution. Unlike most solid tumours, thickness rather than cytological markers or differentiation is the best guide to metastatic potential.

Preprint: Artemisinin inhibits innate immune cell chemotaxis, cytokine production and NET release

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 ...

A minimal model of metabolism-based chemotaxis. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS 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.

Feedback Control Architecture and the Bacterial Chemotaxis Network

open access: yes, 2011
This paper investigates the chemotaxis behavior of the bacterium R. sphaeroides. We review the results of a recent study comparing different possible mathematical models of this bacterium's chemotaxis decision mechanisms.

Different migration patterns of sea urchin and mouse sperm revealed by a microfluidic chemotaxis device. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS 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.

Morus alba and active compound oxyresveratrol exert anti-inflammatory activity via inhibition of leukocyte migration involving MEK/ERK signaling [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Background: Morus alba has long been used in traditional Chinese medicine to treat inflammatory diseases;however, the scientific basis for such usage and the mechanism of action are not well understood. This studyinvestigated the action of M.

THE CHEMOSUPPRESSION OF CHEMOTAXIS [PDF]

open access: yesThe 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 ...

Mechanisms involved in human eosinophil chemotaxis induced by the newly cloned C-C chemokine eotaxin

open access: yesAllergology 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.

Quantitative Analysis of Cell Motility and Chemotaxis in Dictyostelium discoideum by Using an Image Processing System and a Novel Chemotaxis Chamber Providing Stationary Chemical Gradients

open access: yes, 1989
An image processing system was programmed to automatically track and digitize the movement of amebae under phase-contrast microscopy. The amebae moved in a novel chemotaxis chamber designed to provide stable linear attractant gradients in a thin agarose ...
