Distinct cell shapes determine accurate chemotaxis
The behaviour of an organism often reflects a strategy for coping with its environment. Such behaviour in higher organisms can often be reduced to a few stereotyped modes of movement due to physiological limitations, but finding such modes in amoeboid cells is more difficult as they lack these constraints. Here, we examine cell shape and movement in starved Dictyostelium amoebae during migratio...
متن کاملDetermine Distinct Shapes of Rigid Origami
Rigid origami is a class of origami whose entire surface remains rigid during folding except at crease lines. In this work, we explore the idea of determining distinct shapes that can be realized by a given crease pattern. Typically, crease pattern is designed with a single target shape in mind. However, as the advances in material science and robotics engineering enable the realization of self...
متن کاملDistinct FAK activities determine progenitor and mammary stem cell characteristics.
Mammary stem cells (MaSC) and progenitor cells are important for mammary gland development and maintenance and may give rise to mammary cancer stem cells (MaCSC). Yet, there remains limited understanding of how these cells contribute to tumorigenesis. Here, we show that conditional deletion of focal adhesion kinase (FAK) in embryonic mammary epithelial cells (MaEC) decreases luminal progenitors...

متن کاملThe Dynamic Cell Chemotaxis
7 Chemotaxis Cells developed the capacity to move in order to feed and to avoid local harmful situations. They are attracted to all sorts of stimuli and are repulsed by others. The term "Chemotaxis" was first coined by a W. Pfeffer in 1884 to describe the attraction of fern sperm to the ova, but since then the phenomenon has been described in bacteria and many eukaryotic cells in many different...
