A protein that helps generate the force needed for single cells to move works differently in cells moving in groups, a new study shows. A protein that helps generate the force needed for single cells ...

Cancer remains one of the world’s most serious health threats, especially when it spreads beyond its original site. That ...

When an individual cell needs to move somewhere, it manages just fine on its own. It extends protrusions from its leading edge and retracts the trailing edge to scoot itself along, without having to ...

Study finds that large embryo cells divide step by step using a mechanical ratchet system, challenging the textbook idea of a ...

A study focusing on analyzing cell models found universality in their movement—an important discovery that could impact both health and robotics. The study "Evidence of universal conformal invariance ...

Cells can control their ability to move through the body by using a protein called fascin to control the stiffness of neighbouring cells, suggests a new study. Cells can control their ability to move ...

An international team of scientists involving the UPF Laboratory of Molecular Physiology, has discovered how cancer cells exposed to high viscosity environments change the way they move to improve ...

With help from the best tweezers in the world a team of researchers from the University of Copenhagen has shed new light on a fundamental mechanism in all living cells that helps them explore their ...
