External and internal constraints on eukaryotic chemotaxis.
Chemotaxis, the chemically guided movement of cells, plays an important role in several biological processes including cancer, wound healing, and embryogenesis. Chemotacting cells are able to sense shallow chemical gradients where the concentration of chemoattractant differs by only a few percent from one side of the cell to the other, over a wide range of local concentrations. Exactly what lim...
متن کاملSurveillance Video Analysis with External Knowledge and Internal Constraints
The automated analysis of video data becomes ever more important as we are inundated by the ocean of videos generated every day, thus leading to much research in tasks such as content-based video retrieval, pose estimation and surveillance video analysis. Current state-of-the-art algorithms in these tasks are mainly supervised, i.e. the algorithms learn models based on manually labeled training...
متن کاملCellular memory in eukaryotic chemotaxis.
Natural chemical gradients to which cells respond chemotactically are often dynamic, with both spatial and temporal components. A primary example is the social amoeba Dictyostelium, which migrates to the source of traveling waves of chemoattractant as part of a self-organized aggregation process. Despite its physiological importance, little is known about how cells migrate directionally in resp...
متن کاملMolecular insights into eukaryotic chemotaxis.
Many cells display directed migration toward specific compounds. The best-studied eukaryotic models of chemotaxis are polymorphonuclear leukocytes, which respond to formylated peptides and Dictyostelium amoebas, which respond to extracellular cAMP. In both cell types, chemoattractants bind to surface receptors that contain seven transmembrane domains and interact with G proteins. Some cells, su...
متن کاملThe physics of eukaryotic chemotaxis.
www.physicstoday.org A small scratch on the skin can be quite painful. Fortunately, the pain is transitory and dissipates quickly once the wound heals. The healing process is facilitated by neutrophils, a type of white blood cell that removes bacteria and other foreign materials from a wound. Neutrophils normally reside in your circulatory system but, when needed, are able to leave the bloodstr...
