A new Cell & Bioscience study shows that the RNA-binding protein VCX3A cooperates with the splicing regulator KHDRBS1 to ...

A molecular pathway known for controlling cell shape and movement also helps regulate the rhythm by which the vertebrate body is divided into repeated segments, FMI researchers report in the journal ...

Coordinated directional migration of cells in the mesoderm layer of the early embryo is essential for organization of the body plan. Here we show that mesoderm organization in mouse embryos depends on ...

A mouse and cell study reports that STAT3 transcriptionally activates MTND4, driving ROS production and mitochondrial ...

A new study, led by Professors Mashaghi and Clevers from Leiden University and Hubrecht Institute in the Netherlands, has introduced a novel approach using intestinal organoids to uncover the ...

Cells only begin to move through the tissue, once a certain ratio of motility to growth rate is exceeded. In biology, it is well-known that cells can switch their motility on or off in response to ...

Eukaryotic cell motility requires coordination across three spatial size scales: intracellular signaling that regulates cell shape and movement, single cells motility (e.g. cells responding to ...

In a mouse model of functional constipation, electroacupuncture improved gut motility, at least in part by restoring ...

Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have found that the motion of unlabeled cells can be used to tell whether they are cancerous or healthy. They observed malignant fibrosarcoma cells and ...

Researchers at Tulane University School of Medicine have discovered that if animal cells gain an extra set of chromosomes, a condition known as polyploidy, they activate a stress signaling pathway ...
