Cell migration is essential for physiological processes as diverse as development, immune
defence and wound healing. It is also a hallmark of cancer malignancy. Thousands of …

Cell motility is essential for life and development. Unfortunately, cell migration is also linked
to several pathological processes, such as cancer metastasis. Cells' ability to migrate relies …

Contractile actomyosin bundles, stress fibers, govern key cellular processes including
migration, adhesion, and mechanosensing. Stress fibers are thus critical for developmental …

Breakdown of vascular barriers is a major complication of inflammatory diseases. Anucleate
platelets form blood-clots during thrombosis, but also play a crucial role in inflammation …

The negatively charged, brush-like glycocalyx covers the surface layer of endothelial cells.
This layer of membrane-bound, carbohydrate-rich molecules covers the luminal surface of …

The actin cytoskeleton is indispensable for several cellular processes, including migration,
morphogenesis, polarized growth, endocytosis, and phagocytosis. The organization and …

The actin cytoskeleton plays key roles in every eukaryotic cell and is essential for cell
adhesion, migration, mechanosensing, and contractility in muscle and non-muscle tissues …

Neuronal migration is a fundamental brain development process that allows cells to move
from their birthplaces to their sites of integration. Although neuronal migration largely ceases …

The viscoelastic parameters of the cell can report on the cell state, cellular processes and
diseases. Cell mechanics strongly rely on the properties of the cytoskeleton, an important …

Background: hydrogels prepared with natural inorganic excipients and spring waters are
commonly used in medical hydrology. Design of these clay-based formulations continues to …
