Most cells in the body are able to crawl through the dense network of fibres that surround them. This migration process is essential for repairing wounds, tracking down infection and maintaining ...

During mesenchymal migration, a cancer cell moves like a gecko on a wall. Before choosing this mode of movement, the cell sizes up the surface to which it may stick, explained physicist Nadir Kaplan.

Cell migration is a multistep process essential to various physiological functions, including immune cell movement and embryonic development, as well as pathological conditions like tumor metastasis.

Researchers have identified endogenous electric fields in developing embryos that guide the migration of neural crest cells, essential for forming facial bones and the nervous system. The enzyme ...
