Findings suggest targeting neuro-immune pathway could lead to strategies for managing diabetes, obesity or some types of ...

In mechanobiology, cells' forces have been considered fundamental to their enhanced function, including fast migration. But a ...

Water flow plays a surprising role in the formation of new blood vessels as zebrafish develop, RIKEN researchers have ...

Researchers have identified endogenous electric fields in developing embryos that guide the migration of neural crest cells, ...

As an embryo grows, there is a continuous stream of communication between cells to form tissues and organs. Cells need to ...

Building and shaping an embryo requires the concerted effort of numerous signals and molecular interactions during development. One essential aspect of this process is collective cell migration, where ...

A confocal light micrograph showing blood vessels in a three-year-old zebrafish (magenta: endothelial cells of blood vessels; ...

Researchers found that electric fields inside embryos guide migrating cells. The enzyme Vsp1 helps cells sense and respond to ...

Collective cell migration is the process by which a group of cells move in concert, without completely disrupting their cell-cell contacts. Collective migration is important during morphogenesis ...
