WASHINGTON, D.C., October 31, 2017 -- Rhythmic patterns and precise motions -- these are key elements of proper swimming. Olympians demonstrate repeated patterns of breathing, with synchronized head, ...

Latex beads and wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) were used to examine the movement of membrane components on amoeboid spermatozoa of Caenorhabditis elegans. The behavior of beads attached to the cell ...

The Rho family of small GTPases is known to be important for the regulation of cell motility. A recent paper by Chris Marshall and colleagues published in Cell has shown that differential activation ...

Rhythmic patterns and precise motions are key elements of proper swimming, and comparable demonstrations of this pattern repetition and power usage can be seen in a microscopic swimmer -- the amoeboid ...
