Rovers sent to Mars have so far failed to detect life, likely because it doesn’t exist on the Red Planet. But we can’t say ...

“One of the goals [of astrobiology] is to go to [other worlds] and look for microorganisms, but in the meantime there’s so ...

Phospholipase A 2 is also activated by cAMP and is important for chemotaxis. The leading edge is extended partially by the force of dendritic actin polymerization beneath the membrane, but also ...

Researchers have long investigated what type of life exists beyond Earth and how we can find it. A new method focuses on looking for one of the most basic signs of living microbes – movement.

Scientists say the new test is a "cheaper and faster" way than previously employed. The post New simple test could help ...

Chemotaxis, a process for chemically inducing movement in an organism, may be a crucial tool in the search for life on Mars.

To test whether MIF can directly elicit leukocyte chemotaxis through these receptors, the authors compared the promigratory effects of MIF on human blood mononuclear cell-derived monocytes ...

Venous blood samples were drawn before, immediately after, and 24 hours after each session. Results—There were no significant differences in basal values of net chemotaxis (chemotaxis − random ...
