Cell Migration: Neurons Go with the Flow
نویسنده
چکیده
Cilia lining the surfaces of the brain ventricles may be responsible for the graded distribution of chemorepellents that drive the directed migration of neurons.

Developmental expression of G proteins in a migratory population of embryonic neurons.
Directed neuronal migration contributes to the formation of many developing systems, but the molecular mechanisms that control the migratory process are still poorly understood. We have examined the role of heterotrimeric G proteins (guanyl nucleotide binding proteins) in regulating the migratory behavior of embryonic neurons in the enteric nervous system of the moth, Manduca sexta. During the ...
متن کاملThe cytotoxic effect of memantine and its effect on cytoskeletal proteins expression in metastatic breast cancer cell line
Objective(s):Breast cancer is an important leading cause of death from cancer. Stathmin and tau proteins are regulators of cell motility, and their overexpression is associated with the progression and bad prognosis of breast cancer. Memantine, an N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist, is the potential inhibitor of tau protein in neurons. This study determines the effect of memantine ...
متن کاملQuercetin protects PC-12 cells against hypoxia injury by down-regulation of miR-122
Objective(s): Impairment of nerve cells of brain induced by hypoxia results in energy-deprivation and dysfunction, which accompanies with neurons apoptosis. Improving function of nerve cells is important for treating cerebral anoxia. This study aimed to investigate the role of Quercetin (Quer) in hypoxia-induced injury of pheochromocytoma (PC-12) cells. Materials and Methods: PC-12 cells were c...
متن کاملA survey on random walk-based stochastic modeling in eukaryotic cell migration with emphasis on its application in cancer
Impairments in cell migration processes may cause various diseases, among which cancer cell metastasis, tumor angiogenesis, and the disability of immune cells to infiltrate into tumors are prominent ones. Mathematical modeling has been widely used to analyze the cell migration process. Cell migration is a complicated process and requires statistical methods such as random walk for proper analys...
متن کاملThe Level of Mesenchymal-Epithelial Transition Autophosphorylation is Correlated with Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma Migration
Background: The MET receptor is a critical member of cancer-associated RTKs and plays an important role in different biological activities, including differentiation, migration, and cell proliferation. Methods: In this study, novel MET inhibitors were introduced and applied on esophageal squamous carcinoma cell line KYSE-30, and the level of proliferation and migration, as well as the activated...
