Atherosclerosis risk is elevated in diabetic patients, but the underlying mechanism such as the involvement of macrophages remains unclear. Here, we investigated the underlying mechanism related to ...

The ECM (extracellular matrix) provides the microenvironmental niche sensed by resident vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). Aging and disease are associated with dramatic changes in ECM composition ...

Collective cell migration is defined as the coordinated movement of multiple cells that retain cell–cell contacts while coordinating their actin dynamics and intracellular signalling.

"Biology uses chemically powered molecular machines for every biological process, such as transporting chemicals around the cell, information processing or reproduction. By replicating nature at ...

Irregular migration has become a key issue in European politics with many far-right and populist parties campaigning in recent and upcoming elections, including in Germany next month, on promises ...

Both diet and exercise are essential for building muscle. When it comes to nutrition, the most beneficial foods to support muscle growth are those that are high in protein and low in saturated fat.

meaning the province's population growth is now primarily made up of international migration. Were it not for people moving to Nova Scotia, the population would be in decline, with deaths ...

Researchers find cell migration doesn't only rely on generating force. A professor of mechanical engineering and materials science found that groups of cells moved faster with lower force when ...

In mechanobiology, cells' forces have been considered fundamental to their enhanced function, including fast migration. But a group of researchers in the McKelvey School of Engineering at ...
