Large rounded cells, termed splenic cells, are also seen; these are capable of ameboid movement, and often contain pigment and red-blood corpuscles in their interior.

In eukaryotic unicellular cells, ameboid movement and cilium or the eukaryotic flagellum are the main effectors (e.g. Amoeba or Tetrahymena).

These two phyla use amoeboid movement in their feeding stage.

It was capable of amoeboid movement, like a low order of animal life.

They move by action of amoeboid movement.

While several hypotheses have been proposed to explain the mechanism of amoeboid movement, the exact mechanism is still unknown.

Microfilaments are highly versatile, functioning in cytokinesis, amoeboid movement, and changes in cell shape.

Human cells exhibit 3 kinds of motion: collective motility, mesenchymal-type movement, and amoeboid movement.

This syncytia is called plasmodium, but in the sense of a multinucleate protoplast without a cell wall which exhibits amoeboid movement.

These are not used in amoeboid movement, but are stiff skeletons on which organelles are supported or can move on.

These germ cells then travel, via amoeboid movement, to the genital ridge and eventually into the undifferentiated gonads of the fetus.

Sarcomas, or cancers arising from connective tissue cells, are particularly adept at amoeboid movement, thus leading to their high rate of metastasis.

Cercomonas contains several species that show exhibit amoeboid movement, such as the testate amoeba Cyphoderia, and the flagellate Cryothecomonas.

He first described the growth cone based on fixed cells as "a concentration of protoplasm of conical form, endowed with amoeboid movements" (Cajal, 1890).

Amoeboid movement is a crawling-like type of movement accomplished by protrusion of cytoplasm of the cell involving the formation of pseudopodia.

P. polycephalum is one of the easiest eukaryotic microbes to grow in culture, and has been used as a model organism for many studies involving amoeboid movement and cell motility.

He is a graduate of Warsaw University, from where he received his M.Sc., and a Ph.D. from the Polish Academy of Sciences in Cell Biology working at the Nencki Institute of Experimental Biology on the mechanism of amoeboid movement.
