Konstanz researchers identify an enzyme that plays a role in the migration of cells in our body—not only during normal tissue formation and wound healing, but also when tumor cells metastasize. This ...

Cells in the body have to move around in order to do their jobs. During development, for instance, cells are distributed to create and grow tissue. And in the event of an immune response, different ...

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.

What makes cancer so deadly is its ability to move . The better that doctors can keep tumors contained and protect unaffected organs in the body, the less lethal a cancer will be. So if doctors were ...

To move forward or migrate, the different cells in our body must exert forces or interact with their surrounding environment. Interestingly, however, a fault in these interactions can also be the ...

New research by scientists at the Champalimaud Foundation has revealed a surprising new role for the immune system. Their study in mice found that during periods of low energy— such as intermittent ...
