Most of the cells in our bodies don't move—they stay where they're supposed to in service to our organs and biological systems. But aggressive cancer cells behave differently, spreading and ultimately ...

A new study integrated mathematical modeling with advanced imaging to discover that the physical shape of the fruit fly egg chamber, combined with chemical signals, significantly influences how cells ...

Liver fibrosis is an over-reacted wound healing that becomes lethal in its late stage, when hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) trigger fibrotic response, proliferation of connective tissue and build-up of ...

Jian Zhang, an assistant professor of biomedical engineering, will study how mechanical forces and cellular energy constraints guide cell motion in engineered tissue models.

Migrating newborn neurons suffer routine double-strand DNA breaks from physical stress during brain development.

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.

Geleophysic dysplasia (GD) is a rare and progressive genetic condition characterized by short stature, brachydactyly, joint limitations, and a unique facial appearance as well as cardiac and ...
