Overview

Cell movement is a fundamental biological process that involves the controlled movement of a cell in its environment. It is critical in processes such as immune system responses and development. Cell movement is driven by a variety of cellular structures including microtubules, actin filaments, dynein and kinesin. These structures act as tracks and motors that propel the cell forward. In addition, chemical signals, such as hormones, are used to coordinate and direct the movement. This can be used to regulate cell migration and invasion, which are important processes during development, wound healing and metastasis of cancer cells.
