Cells across diverse tissues respond to externally or endogenously generated electric fields by polarising their membranes, reorganising cytoskeletal components and activating signal transduction ...

Cell motility and adhesion are fundamental processes that underpin embryonic development, immune surveillance, wound healing and tumour invasion. At their core lies a dynamic interplay between ...

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 ...

Bacteria are constantly moving by help of motility organs called flagella or pili to colonize new niches. Also, bacteria can exchange information, like “speaking to each other”, and thus acquire new ...

Gene expression patterns in the inner ear put an old question about structures called kinocilia back in motion.

Scientists at EPFL have developed CenSpark, a fluorescent probe that makes centrioles and cilia visible inside living cells, helping researchers study cell division, development, and immunity like ...
