The concept of pilot pseudopodia is reconsidered 30 years after its inauguration (Gerisch, G., Hülser, D., Malchow, D., Wick, U., 1975. Cell communication by periodic cyclic-AMP pulses. Phil. Trans. ...
The active locomotion of polymorphonuclear leukocytes into a glass pipette has been recently reported using formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (fMLP) as a chemoattractant. The frontal portion of th...
BACKGROUND AND DESIGN: In vivo cutaneous surface microscopy (oil epiluminescence, dermatoscopy, and dermoscopy) has been shown to greatly enhance the clinical diagnosis of melanoma. The pseudopod is a...
Phagocytosis requires actin assembly and pseudopod extension, two cellular events that coincide spatially and temporally. The signal transduction events underlying both processes may be distinct. We t...
Amoebae of the cellular slime mold Dictyostelium discoideum are an excellent model system for the study of amoeboid chemotaxis. These cells can be studied as a homogeneous population whose response to...
