Abstract:Migration of animal cells is the most striking process underlying the phenomena of wound healing, morphogenesis and cancerogenesis. Despite radical advances in cell biology and biophysics, we still do not have a complete picture of how animal cells move across surfaces. Motility for many of these cells involves a multitude of molecular mechanisms, and we do not yet know how they are integrated at the cellular level. Because of this, simple and specialized cells, like the sperm of Ascaris suum (A. suum) have at… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
