Cells Solve an English Hedge Maze with the Same Skills They Use to Traverse the Body – The Union Journal
From the embryonic stages to late life, cells often make incredible journeys, sometimes even traversing an entire organism. They reach their destination by chemotaxis, following signals that lead them
From the embryonic stages to late life, cells often make incredible journeys, sometimes even traversing an entire organism. They reach their destination by chemotaxis, following signals that lead them to the goal like a chemical yellow brick road. The catch is that different levels, or gradients, of a chemical drawing cells to a target only work over short distances. What guides them over the hills and valleys of a longer journey through the body has been unclear.
