Rac activation is key to cell motility and directionality: An experimental and modelling investigation
Cell migration is a tightly-regulated process that involves protein gradients formed by the Rho family of GTPases, including Rho and Rac. The front (rear) of cells is generally characterized by higher active Rac (Rho) and lower active Rho (Rac) concentrations. Protein clusters, called adhesions, tha...
