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.

Heterotrimeric G Protein–RasGAP Coupling Drives Adaptation During Chemotaxis
CellsChemotaxis enables eukaryotic cells to detect and migrate along extracellular chemoattractant gradients spanning several orders of magnitude. This remarkable dynamic range relies on adaptation, a process that allows cells to reset their signaling ...

Fractional chemotaxis diffusion equations [PDF]
, 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 ...

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.

WIREs Systems Biology and Medicine, 2009 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 ...

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.

Enhanced osseointegration by the chemotactic activity of plasma fibronectin for cellular fibronectin positive cells. [PDF]
, 2007 Plasma fibronectin (pFN) is known to regulate cell growth, differentiation or survival of osteoblasts in vitro. It is also speculated to be important for the early phase of osseointegration, however, its actual in vivo behavior is unknown.

Hijacking emergency granulopoiesis: Neutrophil ontogeny and reprogramming in cancer
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Neutrophils are highly plastic innate immune cells; their functions in cancer extend beyond the tumour microenvironment. This Review summarises current understanding of neutrophil maturation and heterogeneity and highlights tumour‐induced granulopoiesis as a systemic programme that expands immature, immunosuppressive neutrophils via tumour‐derived ...

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.

Investigating the role of chemotaxis operon genes in agrobacterium tumefaciens [PDF]
, 2003 A 1.7 Kb chromosomal DNA of A. tumefaciens C58C1 downstream of chemotaxis operon was sequenced completely in both directions. The comparison of this sequence with sequence databases revealed one open reading frame with strong sequence identity to MCP ...
