The research team has shown that a transcriptional co-activator ANGUSTIFOLIA3 (AN3) forms a signaling gradient along the leaf proximal-to-distal axis to determine cell-proliferation domain. In an ...

New work describes vital aspects of diffusion processes in tissue development, including the roles that molecular diffusion gradients have on stem cell signaling pathways along with new modeling tools ...

Cell migration is stimulated and directed by the interaction of cells with extracellular matrix, neighboring cells or chemoattractants and is key to processes such as development and metastasis.

Cancer cell transformation represents the epitome of dynamic cell behavior. During transformation, once-quiescent cells can exhibit genomic changes, metabolic reprogramming, microenvironment ...

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 105, No. 41 (Oct. 14, 2008), pp. 15749-15754 (6 pages) Many types of cells are able to accurately sense shallow ...

Biophysicists at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitaet (LMU) in Munch have developed a new theory, which accounts for the observation that cells can perceive their own shapes, and use this information to ...
