This study shows Trypanosoma brucei procyclic forms respond to metabolites like proline and succinate through chemotaxis, involving cAMP signaling and specific proteins.

This study identifies BRK1 and CCDC53 as key subunits in WAVE and WASH complex assembly, showing their interaction with HSBP1 and their role in regulating actin dynamics and cell migration.

This study shows autoattractants enhance immune cell migration but can also cause aggregation, with optimal communication balancing cell coordination and movement efficiency.

DishCam is an open-source 3D-printed darkfield imager for improved imaging of microbial colonies and small organisms on Petri dishes, offering high contrast and compatibility with incubators.

ChemoTrack provides a large-scale, precise dataset of single-cell migration trajectories linked to chemotactic signals, revealing new insights into how cells respond to chemical gradients.

This study shows mouse and human macrophages use self-generated C5a gradients for chemotaxis, with distinct degradation mechanisms and optimal concentrations.

This study develops a cell-based model of intermittent attachments to explain how cell aggregates exhibit fluid-like properties and collective chemotaxis.
