Max Planck Institute scientists have taken artificial liposome vesicles made in previous experiments and combined them with Min proteins from E. coli, surprisingly creating a mechanical force gradient and moving the vesicles.

aka "Surfing one's own wave"
In this preprint, Pierre and I show that a #cell which is not polarised at all but is only #treadmilling in a symmetric way can spontaneously start to migrate if it is spread on an sufficiently soft substrate.
This is something like #surfing, as the cell is carried away by an #elastic #wave... which it has itself created with its treadmilling!

I gave a talk on inpatient bowel regimens today for the @YaleMed @YaleIMed residents and students, with additional 💎s on outpatient #constipation. Here are the slides!

How early cells changed into swimming motile forms is one of those areas.
Osaka City University scientists have taken Spiroplasma motility genes and inserted them into the synthetic minimal genome bacteria syn3, causing it to change from a sphere to a spiral helical swimming shape.

You've found a new species of some motile microbe, you want to study its #motility and behaviour, but it's too fast and too sneaky, what do you do? Build a ufluidic trap so it can't escape! hope you'll enjoy reading our paper out today in @eLife@twitter.com! https://doi.org/10.7554/eLife.76519 1/
