This produces a very reasonable strategy for chemotaxis, in which the bacterium follows the concentration gradient of one sugar alone. |
Additional granulocytes are attracted and directed to the sites of infection in a process called directed migration, or chemotaxis. |
The mechanism of aggregation involves both chemotaxis of individual cells, and the propagation of the chemotactic signal from one ameba to another. |
They may stimulate different functions including angiogenesis, enzyme production, cell migration, chemotaxis, and cellular proliferation. |
These include regulation of collagen synthesis, inflammatory cell chemotaxis, and DNA synthesis. |
Using chemotaxis and thermotaxis as behavioral paradigms, neural plasticity including learning and memory can be studied genetically in C. elegans. |
