Unlocking the Secrets of Rapid Protrusion: How Cells Use Protrusions to Explore and Move
In a recent study, researchers have discovered that cells can move rapidly using protrusion-based exploration (PBE). This method of movement is far faster than the traditional method of diffusion-based search. Using this new method, cells can explore their environment quickly and efficiently, enabling them to find food, mates, and other resources in a shorter amount of time. This could revolutionize how cells move and interact with their environment, leading to new and improved treatments for diseases and other medical issues.
