Adhesive interactions play a central role in cell migration. The regulation of these interactions requires the coordination of a multiplicity of signals, both spatially and temporally. The role of the integrin family has received considerable recent attention. Progress has been made in the elucidation of the mechanisms by which growth factors and other motogenic factors stimulate migration. Maj...

Network of hydrogels provides an environment to study tumor expansion and cell migration

nowadays, scientific c findings in the field of regeneration of nervous system have revealed the possibility of stem cell based therapies for damaged brain tissue related disorders like stroke. furthermore, to achieve desirable outcomes from cellular therapies, one needs to monitor the migration, engraftment, viability, and also functional fate of transplanted stem cells. magnetic resonance ima...

Human cells express 45 kinesins, microtubule motors that transport a variety of molecules and organelles within the cell. Many kinesins also modulate the tracks they move on by either bundling or sliding or regulating the dynamic assembly and disassembly of the microtubule polymer. In migrating cells, microtubules control the asymmetry between the front and rear of the cell by differentially re...

THE PRECEDING STUDIES HAVE ESTABLISHED THE FOLLOWING POINTS: Intrathymic labeling of thymic lymphocytes provides an adequate marker system to detect the migration of thymus cells to peripheral lymphoid sites. In the newborn, this comprises a major portion of the total lymphocyte population in lymph nodes and spleen. In the adult, this migration is limited to specific portions of lymph nodes and...

development of phytotherapies aimed at angiogenesis inhibition, in combination with classical anti-cancer therapies, is among the most intensively studied approaches for treatment of cancer. epidemiological and animal studies have indicated that consumption of allium species like shallot is associated with a reduced risk of cancer development. as a continuation of our efforts to study and chara...
