His was a cell guiding, and guided by, others.
The directed movement of a mature natural killer cell guided by a specific chemical concentration gradient.
Baker's yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) is used as a model organism to study cell guiding in the system.
The directed movement of a motile cell or organism, or the directed growth of a cell guided by a specific chemical concentration gradient.
Indeed, TCs are suggested to play roles in tissue structural support, homeostasis maintenance, intercellular signaling, cell differentiation, immune surveillance, stem/progenitor cell guiding and nursing, and to participate in different tissue pathologies18,19,31,35,36,37,38,39,40,41,42,43,44,45,46,47.
In particular, irradiated anatase and graphite surfaces demonstrate an increased performance of crystalline films for the creation of cell guiding and trapping devices.
Cell migration control techniques have been proposed for cells with relatively low migratory activity, based on static analyses performed with cells that attain a temporally homogenous state after being exposed to a cell guiding stimulus.
Our findings yield a new design concept of cell repelling and trapping surfaces which are applicable to cell guiding methods and single or multiple cell confinement on cell culture substrates, and thus may contribute to development of more advanced biomaterials.
These findings contribute to the design of cell guiding surfaces, but also demonstrate the need for a long-range defined homogeneous order when studying cell behaviour on nanostructured surfaces.
