Chemotaxis is a fascinating biological process, through which a cell migrates along a shallow chemoattractant gradient that is less than 5% difference between the anterior and posterior of the cell.

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract We present a discrete model of chemotaxis whereby cells responding to a chemoattractant are seen as individual agents whose movement is ...

Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is a major barrier to successful allogeneic hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (HSCT). The chemokine receptor CCR5 appears to play a role in alloreactivity. We ...

The intricate mechanisms that allow certain cells to move have been uncovered by researchers, discoveries with implications for cancer metastasis, say authors of a new report. What if cancer cells ...

Chemotactic migration and invasion play an essential role in many normal and pathological processes including immune response, cell differentiation, and tumor metastasis. Methods to study factors that ...

SIAM Journal on Applied Mathematics, Vol. 75, No. 2 (2015), pp. 275-288 (14 pages) Chemotaxis refers to the directed movement of cells in response to a chemical signal called chemoattractant. A ...

An all-on-chip method enables rapid neutrophil chemotaxis assay directly from a few microliters of blood for both cell migration research and clinical sample test. A team of researchers from the ...

Mice are especially good at sniffing out cheese in a maze, and a new study reveals their sperm are just as good at tracking an egg cell's scent. Even when ovary extracts were extremely diluted, sperm ...
