The influence of microorganisms growing as sessile communities in a large number of
human infections has been extensively studied and recognized for 30–40 years, therefore …

Chemotaxis of tumour cells and stromal cells in the surrounding microenvironment is an
essential component of tumour dissemination during progression and metastasis. This …

Proximity‐dependent biotin identification (BioID) is a recently developed method that allows
the identification of proteins in the close vicinity of a protein of interest in living cells. BioID …

We study the dynamics of micron-sized particles on a layer of motile cells. This cell carpet
acts as an active bath that propels passive tracer particles via direct mechanical contact. The …

One of the universal traits of microorganisms is their ability to form multicellular structures,
the cells of which differentiate and communicate via various signaling molecules. Reactive …

Ras was found to regulate Dictyostelium chemotaxis, but the mechanisms that spatially and
temporally control Ras activity during chemotaxis remain largely unknown. We report the …

This Review discusses the potential usefulness of the worm Caenorhabditis elegans as a
model organism for chemists interested in studying living systems. C. elegans, a 1 mm long …

Bacteria in the environment must survive predation from bacteriophage, heterotrophic
protists, and predatory bacteria. This selective pressure has resulted in the evolution of a …

Trace elements are used by all organisms and provide proteins with unique coordination
and catalytic and electron transfer properties. Although many trace element-containing …

Dictyostelium discoideum offers unique advantages for studying fundamental cellular
processes, host–pathogen interactions as well as the molecular causes of human diseases …
