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 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.

Modelling cell movement and chemotaxis pseudopod based feedback [PDF]
, 2011 A computational framework is presented for the simulation of eukaryotic cell migration and chemotaxis. An empirical pattern formation model, based on a system of non-linear reaction-diffusion equations, is approximated on an evolving cell boundary using ...

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2019 Significance To which extent gene regulatory programs are optimized by evolution is one of the fundamental biological questions. Swimming motility is one of the costliest bacterial behaviors, but expression of motility genes nevertheless increases when ...

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 Diffusion and Chemotaxis at the Nanoscale. [PDF]
Accounts of Chemical Research, 2018 Enzymes have been recently proposed to have mechanical activity associated with their chemical activity. In a number of recent studies, it has been reported that enzymes undergo enhanced diffusion in the presence of their corresponding substrate when ...
