Cell motility: Braking WAVEs
Giles O. C. Cory & Anne J. Ridley
Abstract
When cells move, they alter their internal skeleton to push membrane out at the front and pull it in at the back. New work fills in some of the gaps in our knowledge of how this process is regulated.
Cells come in many different shapes, depending on their function. Neurons, for example, extend long, branching protrusions (axons) to form the web of cellular connections found in the brain.
- Giles O. C. Cory and Anne J. Ridley are at the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research, Royal Free and University College School of Medicine, 91 Riding House Street, London W1W 7BS, UK.
