Tumor cells traverse many different types of fluids as they travel through the body. Christoph Burgstedt/Science Photo Library via Getty Images Cell migration, or how cells move in the body, is ...

A protein that helps generate the force needed for single cells to move works differently in cells moving in groups, a new study shows. A protein that helps generate the force needed for single cells ...

When an individual cell needs to move somewhere, it manages just fine on its own. It extends protrusions from its leading edge and retracts the trailing edge to scoot itself along, without having to ...

This article was originally featured on The Conversation. Cell migration, or how cells move in the body, is essential to both normal body function and disease progression. Cell movement is what allows ...

Cells can control their ability to move through the body by using a protein called fascin to control the stiffness of neighbouring cells, suggests a new study. Cells can control their ability to move ...

A study focusing on analyzing cell models found universality in their movement—an important discovery that could impact both health and robotics. The study "Evidence of universal conformal invariance ...

Normally when cells crawling in an organism come into contact, they reverse and move randomly away from the other cell. But when nanofiber "tightropes" coated with proteins were suspended in a ...

Inside every living cell, tiny molecular machines are constantly in motion, shifting shapes, tugging on membranes and shuttling ions from one side to the other. That restless activity does more than ...

An ultrasound apparatus arranges gas vesicles into the shape of the letter R in solution. Credit: Caltech Let's say you needed to move an individual cell from one place to another. How would you do it ...

Pictured here is a group of cells moving toward its correct final position in the tail of a forming zebrafish embryo. Cell membranes are green and the cell nuclei red. A protein that helps generate ...
