摘要:
Directional cell movement depends on an intracellular calcium gradient. In a study of migrating fibroblasts, Chaoliang Wei et al. have identified calcium flickers — high-calcium microdomains — as part of the mechanism that steers cells to their targets. The flickers are most active at the leading edge of migrating cells. In the presence of a chemotactic gradient, an asymmetric gradient of calcium flicker activity develops which promotes turning of cells towards the direction of the chemoattractant.
