Chemotactic migration and invasion play an essential role in many normal and pathological processes including immune response, cell differentiation, and tumor metastasis. Methods to study factors that ...

Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is a major barrier to successful allogeneic hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (HSCT). The chemokine receptor CCR5 appears to play a role in alloreactivity. We ...

Neutrophil-like cells must balance speed against chemotactic accuracy to win a chemotaxis maze race in the inaugural Dicty World Races, a worldwide competition. Neutrophil-like cells must balance ...

Chemotaxis is a mechanism that provides directional cellular movement in response to alterations in the chemical composition of the immediate environment. The mechanism, in its simplest form, governs ...

A team of researchers from the University of Manitoba in collaboration with local clinical scientists in Winnipeg, Canada, have developed a new method for rapid neutrophil chemotaxis test directly ...

To measure directional migration, the Transwell ® Boyden chamber has been widely regarded as the mainstay in vitro method. However, it is known for being technically tricky, hard to troubleshoot, and ...
