第四章 细胞的迁移 Chapter 4 Cell Migration
【提要】
细胞是生命的单位,细胞具有“步缓力微”的运动特性,细胞觅食、损伤痊愈、胚胎发生、免疫、感染和癌症转移等都与细胞生理现象相关。细胞迁移是细胞在接收到迁移信号或感受到某些物质的浓度梯度后通过胞体形变而产生的定向移动。通过对细胞迁移的研究有助于了解癌症转移的过程。
Cell is the basic unit of life.Most epithelial and non-epithelial cells have abilities to move slowly with micro-motion force and to locomote through intercellular spaces and connective fibers is adhering with the adjacent cells and fibers.These cellular behaviors and activities are fully associated with aging,heal of wounds,embryogenesis,immune reaction,infection and cancer metastasis.Cell migration is directional movement by extracellular shape transition after receiving migration signals or catching certain substances concentration gradient.The study of cell migration is therefore helpful for understanding the process of cancer metastasis.
