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 ...

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, ...

This schematic shows the intracellular organization that drives nucleus movement and mesenchymal migration. The image on the right is a close-up view of the cell edge and depicts the coupling between ...

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 ...

Most cancer studies focus on chemical signals or stiff tumor surroundings, but the stickiness of the fluid itself has ...

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, ...

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 have uncovered a hidden “sugar code” on the surface of human cells that could transform how diseases are detected.

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

Scientists at the University of Pennsylvania have shown for the first time that it’s possible to detect dormant cancer cells in breast cancer survivors and eliminate them with repurposed drugs, ...
