TRPM2 ion channels steer neutrophils towards a source of hydrogen peroxide
Scientific 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 ...

A corrected decoupled scheme for chemotaxis models [PDF]
J. Comput. Appl. Math. 323, 36--52 (2017), 2020 The main purpose of this paper is to present a new corrected decoupled scheme combined with a spatial finite volume method for chemotaxis models. First, we derive the scheme for a parabolic-elliptic chemotaxis model arising in embryology. We then establish the existence and uniqueness of the numerical solution, and we prove that it converges to a ...

Chemotaxis as a navigation strategy to boost range expansion
Nature, 2019 Bacterial chemotaxis, the directed movement of cells along gradients of chemoattractants, is among the best-characterized subjects in molecular biology1–10, but much less is known about its physiological roles11.

The Anaphase-Promoting Complex (APC) ubiquitin ligase affects chemosensory behavior in \u3cem\u3eC. elegans\u3c/em\u3e [PDF]
, 2016 The regulation of fundamental aspects of neurobiological function has been linked to the ubiquitin signaling system (USS), which regulates the degradation and activity of proteins and is catalyzed by E1, E2, and E3 enzymes. The Anaphase-Promoting Complex

The effect of bacterial chemotaxis on host infection and pathogenicity.
FEMS Microbiology Reviews, 2018 Chemotaxis enables microorganisms to move according to chemical gradients. Although this process requires substantial cellular energy, it also affords key physiological benefits, including enhanced access to growth substrates.

Phoresis and Enhanced Diffusion Compete in Enzyme Chemotaxis. [PDF]
Nano letters (Print), 2018 Chemotaxis of enzymes in response to gradients in the concentration of their substrate has been widely reported in recent experiments, but a basic understanding of the process is still lacking. Here, we develop a microscopic theory for chemotaxis that is

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.

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.
