They are important for cell motility, biofilms formation and virulence.

This affects the cytoskeleton, which leads to increased cell motility and decreased adhesion.

Intermediate filaments are an integral part of cell motility, a requirement for any large migration or cellular reaction.

This stimulates actin branching and increases cell motility (Small, et al., 2002).

The result is a structural reorganization of the lamellipodium and ensuing cell motility (Weed, et al., 2000).

In non-muscle cells, however, these motors perform a variety of other functions, such as cell motility.

It has been shown to regulate cell motility and axonal outgrowth in vitro.

Background The actin cytoskeleton plays a central role in cell motility, movement and morphology.

In addition, Acanthamoeba has been used extensively to understand the molecular biology of cell motility.

These studies are particularly valuable in investigating processes such as cell motility.
