Tumor Cell Migration May Be an Inherent “Foraging” Behavior
Medicine Advances, EarlyView.Tumor cells gradually form pseudopodia, migrate to necrotic cells, make contact with them, and absorb necrotic cell debris. During this migration, small vesicles formed by dying tumor cells also gradually migrate toward living tumor cells. Once the nutrients from the necrotic cells have been completely absorbed, the living tumor cells will leave ...

Free living amoebae (FLA) keratitis
Acta Ophthalmologica, 2016 PurposeTo describe the clinical features and treatment results in 41 consecutive patients with microbiologically proven free‐living amoebae (FLA) keratitis.MethodsCorneal scrapings from patients with suspected amoebic keratitis were plated on non‐nutrient agar. Amoebic isolates were identified morphologically and by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). All

Interactions of free-living amoebae with rice bacterial pathogens Xanthomonas oryzae pathovars oryzae and oryzicola. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 BACKGROUND:Free-living amoebae (FLA) are voracious feeders, consuming bacteria and other microbes during colonization of the phytobiome. FLA are also known to secrete bacteriocidal or bacteriostatic compounds into their growth environment.

Saline-Tolerant Pathogenic Acanthamoeba spp. Isolated from a Geothermal Power Plant
Pathogens, 2023 Few studies have been conducted in the cooling systems of power plants; they have focused on Naegleria fowleri, leaving a gap in the knowledge of other pathogenic free-living amoebae in this environment.

Endocannabinoids Inhibit the Growth of Free-Living Amoebae [PDF]
Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 2010 ABSTRACTThe cannabinoid Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol inhibits the growth of some pathogenic amoebaein vitroand exacerbates amoebic encephalitis in animal models. However, the effects of endogenous cannabinoids on amoebae remain unknown. Therefore, we tested several endocannabinoids (N-acyl ethanolamines and 2-O-acyl glycerol) on different genera of amoebae.
