How bacterial chemotaxis is performed is much better understood than why. Traditionally,
chemotaxis has been understood as a foraging strategy by which bacteria enhance their …

Most swimming bacteria are capable of following gradients of nutrients, signaling molecules
and other environmental factors that affect bacterial physiology. This tactic behavior became …

Immune responses rely on the rapid and coordinated migration of leukocytes. Whereas it is
well established that single-cell migration is often guided by gradients of chemokines and …

Taxis orientation is common in microorganisms, and it provides feasible strategies to
operate active colloids as small‐scale robots. Collective taxes involve numerous units that …

Diverse processes—eg bioremediation, biofertilization, and microbial drug delivery—rely on
bacterial migration in disordered, three-dimensional (3D) porous media. However, how pore …

Bacterial chemotaxis, the directed movement of cells along gradients of chemoattractants, is
among the best-characterized subjects in molecular biology,,,,,,,,–, but much less is known …

A common feature of biological self-organization is how active agents communicate with
each other or their environment via chemical signaling. Such communications, mediated by …

Chemotactic migration of bacteria—their ability to direct multicellular motion along chemical
gradients—is central to processes in agriculture, the environment, and medicine. However …

Collectives of actively moving particles can spontaneously separate into dilute and dense
phases—a fascinating phenomenon known as motility-induced phase separation (MIPS) …

Bacteria are ubiquitous in our daily lives, either as motile planktonic cells or as immobilized
surface-attached biofilms. These different phenotypic states play key roles in agriculture …
