Traditional electrotaxis assays place electrodes directly into the cell culture medium, which inevitably drives current through the sample.

Like schools of fish and flocks of birds, our cells can also migrate collectively in coordination with their neighbors. This harmonious movement of cells occurs during embryonic development, wound ...

Researchers at Toho University have uncovered a previously unrecognized mechanism controlling how dying cells release the ...

Metastasis occurs when cancer cells break away from the original tumor and travel through the bloodstream to form new tumors in other parts of the body. It is the leading cause of cancer-related death ...

A new study co-led by an Oregon Health & Science University researcher describes a breakthrough in microscopy tools that could dramatically expand how cancer biology labs study the inner workings of ...

Cancer imaging is entering a phase where malignant cells no longer hide in murky grayscale but flare into view with surgical precision. Across operating rooms, scanners, and even blood tests, ...

Cell migration is a multistep process essential to various physiological functions, including immune cell movement and embryonic development, as well as pathological conditions like tumor metastasis.

Scientists at Oregon Health & Science University have uncovered a previously unknown system of internal "trade winds" that help cells rapidly move essential proteins to the front of the cell, ...

When these anchors are attached to cancer drugs, they attach to cell membranes and shrink tumors better than unmodified drug ...

For the past 15 years or so, a class of drugs called immune checkpoint inhibitors have been used to treat melanoma – the most ...
