Bacteria use chemotaxis to migrate towards environments that are better for growth.
Chemoreceptors detect changes in attractant levels and signal through two-component …

We review the application of mathematical modeling to understanding the behavior of
populations of chemotactic bacteria. The application of continuum mathematical models, in …

One of the major challenges in modern biology is to understand how the molecular
components of a living cell operate in a highly noisy environment. What are the specific …

Chemotaxis is a fundamental guidance mechanism of cells and organisms, responsible for
attracting microbes to food, embryonic cells into developing tissues, immune cells to …

When vegetative bacteria that can swim are grown in a rich medium on an agar surface, they
become multinucleate, elongate, synthesize large numbers of flagella, produce wetting …

We studied the response of swimming Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacteria in a comprehensive
set of well-controlled chemical concentration gradients using a newly developed microfluidic …

Bacterial chemotaxis represents one of the simplest and best studied examples of
unicellular behavior. Chemotaxis allows swimming bacterial cells to follow chemical …

There are easier things to make than a brain. Driven by the promise and resources of
biomedical research, developmental neurobiologists are trying to understand how it is done …

We present a single-cell motility assay, which allows the quantification of bacterial swimming
in a well-controlled environment, for durations of up to an hour and with a temporal …

Many microorganisms have evolved chemotactic strategies to exploit the microscale
heterogeneity that frequently characterizes microbial habitats. Chemotaxis has been …
