Inside every living cell, proteins and membranes are in constant motion, reshaping, colliding, and flexing as they keep an organism alive. That restless activity has long been treated as biological ...

The interaction between growth and the active migration of cells plays a crucial role in the spatial mixing of growing cell colonies. This connection was discovered by scientists from the Department ...

Scientists have developed a groundbreaking cryo-optical microscopy technique that freezes living cells mid-action, capturing ultra-detailed snapshots of fast biological processes. By rapidly ...

Actin polymerizing motors were encapsulated in the lumen of an artificial cell, where they exhibited motion and actively generated actin filament. (Image: Miguel A. Ramos Docampo, Aarhus University) ...

Study the tiny molecular motors that cells use to produce force and motion in human cells. Project is Not Currently Available This project is not being offered for the current term. Please check back ...

Scientists at the MPI-DS have investigated how this motion interacts with the growth of the entire colony, which can be observed in a wide variety of cellular aggregates. Such growth happens when ...

You don’t want the bacterium Listeria monocytogenes inside your cells — it can make you seriously ill. Now, researchers at Aarhus University have used its unique mode of movement as inspiration to ...

Cells migrate actively through a growing colony. This mixing can be inhibited when motility is too weak or growth is too strong. The ability to actively migrate is a fundamental property of living ...
