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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Our galaxy has at least 100 billion planets, leading many to question whether there is life outside of Earth. Researchers have now developed a simple test that could get us closer to the answer. The ...

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 ...
