New & ldquo;Map & rdquo; Shows How Cells Move in Response to Protein Bursts

April 6, 2016 & mdash;(BRONX, NY) & mdash;A team of researchers at Einstein have created "maps" that colorfully illustrate the influence of the protein Rac2 in forming protrusions that allow mouse macrophages to migrate. The research is described in the April 15, 2016 print edition of < a href="http://www.jimmunol.org/" target="_blank" > The Journal of Immunology < /a > , < span class="imgBorderRight twohundred" > < img src="/images/dynamichomeimages/fullstoryimages/mouse-macrophage.jpg" alt="" width="200" / > < /span > whose cover image is taken from the study. The co-senior authors were < a href="/faculty/11105/louis-hodgson/" > Louis Hodgson, Ph.D. < /a > , associate professor of anatomy & amp; structural biology, and < a href="/faculty/9039/dianne-cox/" > Dianne Cox, Ph.D. < /a > , professor of anatomy & amp; structural biology and of developmental & amp; molecular biology. Both are members of the Gruss Lipper Biophotonics Center.
