On the Swimming of \textit{Dictyostelium} amoebae
Traditionally, the primary mode for locomotion of amoeboid cells was thought to be crawling on a substrate. Recently, it has been experimentally shown that \textit{Dictostelium} amoeba and neutrophils can also swim in a directed fashion.

Tumor Cell Migration May Be an Inherent “Foraging” Behavior
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 ...

Multi‐Functional S‐HA/ASTA NPs Coating on Biodegradable ZE21B Alloy for Cerebrovascular Applications
ABSTRACT Magnesium (Mg) and its alloys have attracted extensive attention of researchers in the field of cerebrovascular implants due to their good mechanical properties and biosafety. However, rapid degradation and delayed endothelialization pose challenges. To address these issues, this study introduces a multifunctional composite coating.

Studies of intercellular invasion in vitro using rabbit peritoneal neutrophil granulocytes (PMNS). I. Role of contact inhibition of locomotion. [PDF]
Intercellular invasion is the active migration of cells on one type into the interiors of tissues composed of cells of dissimilar cell types. Contact paralysis of locomotion is the cessation of forward extension of the pseudopods of a cell as a result of

Invadopodia in cancer metastasis: dynamics, regulation, and targeted therapies
Pseudopodia and invadopodia are dynamic, actin-rich membrane structures extending from the cell surface. While pseudopodia are found in various cell types, invadopodia are exclusive to tumor cells and play a key role in cancer progression.
