Researchers discover a trigger for directed cell motion

(University of M ü nster) Researchers at the Cells-in-Motion Cluster of Excellence at M ü nster University (Germany) have discovered that curvatures of cell membranes trigger a self-organising system. As a result, cells can move in the same direction over a longer distance, forming search patterns. The study has been published in the journal 'Nature Physics'.
