Torque-based immune cell chemotaxis in complex environments
Directed migration in chemical gradients is crucial to the immune response, yet how immune cells navigate complex tissues remains incompletely understood. Using in vitro migration assays and theoretic...
Hot from the #preprint
Leukocyte + #CellMigration + physics = cool
Microtubules enable torque-based steering during dendritic cell migration.
Actomyosin contractility is required for noise-modulation strategy used by neutrophils.

Great question! I know that paper from very close as I was there when they published it π
I took some time bc I went to check the data in case I have done it, but could find it. From heart if I remember right there was an increase probably bc actin dynamics are boosted

ATP has many roles: energy currency, hydrotrope, and *danger signal*
Immune cells are faster after ATP exposure, F-actin (cyan) goes to the rear for nitro boost!

Epiblast Ca2+ waves propagate from the apical to basal domain. The images show selected time points from movies of E5.5 GCaMP6f embryos imaged using a ZEISS lattice light-sheet 7 microscope. Top row: An example of an epiblast wave involving a large proportion of the tissue captured by imaging a volume of the embryo at 20-s intervals. A total of 9/16 embryos showed at least one epiblast Ca2+ wave. Bottom row: Faster imaging at 5-s interval revealed that the Ca2+ wave in the epiblast can be preceded by a transient in a neighboring VE cellβthis was observed in 5/19 events from 9 embryos (white arrowheads).
During #development, distal visceral #endoderm (DVE) cells migrate to shape A-P axis specification. @m-stower.bsky.social @srinivas-lab.bsky.social &co reveal the role of Ca2+ dynamics in this, showing that inhibition of #calcium transients causes DVE arrest @plosbiology.org π§ͺ plos.io/4nHWxF4
