Cell movement

Actin

Actin is a family of globular multi-functional proteins that form microfilaments in the cytoskeleton, and the thin filaments in muscle fibrils.

See Cell migration and Actin

Amoeboid movement

Amoeboid movement is the most typical mode of locomotion in adherent eukaryotic cells. Cell migration and Amoeboid movement are cell movement.

See Cell migration and Amoeboid movement

An antibody (Ab) is the secreted form of a B cell receptor; the term immunoglobulin (Ig) can refer to either the membrane-bound form or the secreted form of the B cell receptor, but they are, broadly speaking, the same protein, and so the terms are often treated as synonymous.

See Cell migration and Antibody

Bleb (cell biology)

In cell biology, a bleb (or snout) is a bulge of the plasma membrane of a cell, characterized by a spherical, "blister-like", bulky morphology. Cell migration and bleb (cell biology) are cell movement.

See Cell migration and Bleb (cell biology)

Cap formation

When molecules on the surface of a motile eukaryotic cell are crosslinked, they are moved to one end of the cell to form a "cap". Cell migration and Cap formation are cellular processes.

See Cell migration and Cap formation

Cardiovascular disease

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is any disease involving the heart or blood vessels.

See Cell migration and Cardiovascular disease

CDC42

Cell division control protein 42 homolog (Cdc42 or CDC42) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CDC42 gene.

See Cell migration and CDC42

Cell culture

Cell culture or tissue culture is the process by which cells are grown under controlled conditions, generally outside of their natural environment.

See Cell migration and Cell culture

Cell membrane

The cell membrane (also known as the plasma membrane or cytoplasmic membrane, and historically referred to as the plasmalemma) is a biological membrane that separates and protects the interior of a cell from the outside environment (the extracellular space).

See Cell migration and Cell membrane

Cell polarity

Cell polarity refers to spatial differences in shape, structure, and function within a cell.

See Cell migration and Cell polarity

Chemotaxis

Chemotaxis (from chemo- + taxis) is the movement of an organism or entity in response to a chemical stimulus.

See Cell migration and Chemotaxis

Cilium

The cilium (cilia;; in anatomy, cilium is an eyelash) is a membrane-bound organelle found on most types of eukaryotic cell. Cell migration and cilium are cell movement.

See Cell migration and Cilium

Collective cell migration

Collective cell migration describes the movements of group of cells and the emergence of collective behavior from cell-environment interactions and cell-cell communication.

See Cell migration and Collective cell migration

Cyclic adenosine monophosphate

Cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP, cyclic AMP, or 3',5'-cyclic adenosine monophosphate) is a second messenger, or cellular signal occurring within cells, that is important in many biological processes.

See Cell migration and Cyclic adenosine monophosphate

Cytoskeleton

The cytoskeleton is a complex, dynamic network of interlinking protein filaments present in the cytoplasm of all cells, including those of bacteria and archaea.

See Cell migration and Cytoskeleton

Development of the nervous system in humans

The development of the nervous system in humans, or neural development, or neurodevelopment involves the studies of embryology, developmental biology, and neuroscience.

See Cell migration and Development of the nervous system in humans

Dictyostelium discoideum

Dictyostelium discoideum is a species of soil-dwelling amoeba belonging to the phylum Amoebozoa, infraphylum Mycetozoa.

See Cell migration and Dictyostelium discoideum

Durotaxis

Durotaxis is a form of cell migration in which cells are guided by rigidity gradients, which arise from differential structural properties of the extracellular matrix (ECM).

See Cell migration and Durotaxis

Edward Mills Purcell

Edward Mills Purcell (August 30, 1912 – March 7, 1997) was an American physicist who shared the 1952 Nobel Prize for Physics for his independent discovery (published 1946) of nuclear magnetic resonance in liquids and in solids.

See Cell migration and Edward Mills Purcell

Embryo

An embryo is the initial stage of development for a multicellular organism.

See Cell migration and Embryo

Endocytosis

Endocytosis is a cellular process in which substances are brought into the cell. Cell migration and Endocytosis are cellular processes.

See Cell migration and Endocytosis

Eukaryote

The eukaryotes constitute the domain of Eukarya or Eukaryota, organisms whose cells have a membrane-bound nucleus.

See Cell migration and Eukaryote

Flagellum

A flagellum (flagella) (Latin for 'whip' or 'scourge') is a hairlike appendage that protrudes from certain plant and animal sperm cells, from fungal spores (zoospores), and from a wide range of microorganisms to provide motility. Cell migration and flagellum are cell movement.

See Cell migration and Flagellum

Immune system

The immune system is a network of biological systems that protects an organism from diseases.

See Cell migration and Immune system

Integrin

Integrins are transmembrane receptors that help cell-cell and cell-extracellular matrix (ECM) adhesion.

See Cell migration and Integrin

Intellectual disability

Intellectual disability (ID), also known as general learning disability (in the United Kingdom) and formerly mental retardation (in the United States),Rosa's Law, Pub.

See Cell migration and Intellectual disability

Inverse problem

An inverse problem in science is the process of calculating from a set of observations the causal factors that produced them: for example, calculating an image in X-ray computed tomography, source reconstruction in acoustics, or calculating the density of the Earth from measurements of its gravity field.

See Cell migration and Inverse problem

Macrophage

Macrophages (abbreviated Mφ, MΦ or MP) are a type of white blood cell of the innate immune system that engulf and digest pathogens, such as cancer cells, microbes, cellular debris, and foreign substances, which do not have proteins that are specific to healthy body cells on their surface.

See Cell migration and Macrophage

Mechanotaxis

Mechanotaxis refers to the directed movement of cell motility via mechanical cues (e.g., fluidic shear stress, substrate stiffness gradients, etc.). In response to fluidic shear stress, for example, cells have been shown to migrate in the direction of the fluid flow. Cell migration and Mechanotaxis are cell movement.

See Cell migration and Mechanotaxis

Metastasis is a pathogenic agent's spread from an initial or primary site to a different or secondary site within the host's body; the term is typically used when referring to metastasis by a cancerous tumor.

See Cell migration and Metastasis

Microscopy

Microscopy is the technical field of using microscopes to view objects and areas of objects that cannot be seen with the naked eye (objects that are not within the resolution range of the normal eye).

See Cell migration and Microscopy

Microtubule

Microtubules are polymers of tubulin that form part of the cytoskeleton and provide structure and shape to eukaryotic cells.

See Cell migration and Microtubule

Breast cancer metastatic mouse models are experimental approaches in which mice are genetically manipulated to develop a mammary tumor leading to distant focal lesions of mammary epithelium created by metastasis.

See Cell migration and Mouse models of breast cancer metastasis
