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 ...

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 ...

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

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.

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.

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 ...

Diversity and complexity in neural organoids
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Neural organoid research aims to expand genetic diversity on one side and increase tissue complexity on the other. Chimeroids integrate multiple donor genomes within single organoids. Self‐organising multi‐identity organoids, exogenous cell seeding, or enforced assembly of region‐specific organoids contribute to tissue complexity.

Enhancer of zeste homolog 2 enhances the migration and chemotaxis of dental mesenchymal stem cells
Journal of International Medical Research, 2020 Objective To investigate the function of enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2) in the migration and chemotaxis of human dental tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells. Methods The expression of EZH2, C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 11 (CXCL11), CXCL16, and CXCR1

Modelling stem cell differentiation related processes—A practical overview for biologists
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Stem cell differentiation is complex and difficult to control experimentally. This review introduces suitable computational modelling approaches that can support stem cell research, from mechanistic ODE and abstract models to multiscale and deep learning methods.
