ScienceDaily (Oct. 7, 2008)<\/span> \u00e2\u20ac\u201d How a cell assembles its internal machinery required for cell movement has been revealed for the first time<\/a>. The researchers discovered a complex of three proteins that directly regulates the myosin network within a cell, thus generating traction force to propel the cell forward. (Myosin is the most common protein found in muscle cells, and is responsible for the elastic and contractile properties of muscle. A different form of myosin is involved in cell movement.) The findings have widespread implications in the fields of cancer growth and spread, wound- healing, learning and memory, and developmental biology.<\/p>\n
