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

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

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

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.

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 ...

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 ...

Based on quantitative measurement of the concentrations of the compounds and testing the impacts of supplied pure chemicals on abundance and chemotaxis of pathogenic Agrobacterium and potential ...

Results—There were no significant differences in basal values of net chemotaxis (chemotaxis − random migration), bactericidal activity, and superoxide anion release between the judoka and the ...
