Fueling Cell Movement
CategoriesLike cars, cells need to metabolize energy to move- - but how much energy they consume to generate movement has never been studied in detail because measuring the metabolic activity of a single cell is extremely difficult to accomplish. In a paper published in PNAS, Professor Sean Sun and team explore the underlying mechanisms of cell movement.
