A new chemotaxis-based method could revolutionize the search for extraterrestrial life by detecting microbes movement on Mars ...

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 ...

Finding life in outer space is one of the great endeavors of humankind. One approach is to find motile microorganisms that ...

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.

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 ...

Finally, a variety of soup preparations was evaluated and found to be variably, but generally, able to inhibit neutrophil chemotaxis. The current study, therefore, presents evidence that chicken ...

Use precise geolocation data and actively scan device characteristics for identification. This is done to store and access ...

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 ...

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 ...
