Evidence for changes in cell shape from a 2-dimensional to a 3-dimensional substrate

Experientia

Abstract

Chick embryo mesoderm cells were explanted to culture systems in vivo and in vitro and their subsequent movements were correlated with the external morphology as studied by SEM. In vitro cell movements are exaggerations of normal in vivo movements where a 2-dimensional substrate is encountered rather than a 3-dimensional environment.

Actin, Myosin & Cell Movement

Contractile forces generated by the actin-myosin cytoskeleton are critical for morphogenesis, but the cellular and molecular mechanisms of contraction have been elusive for many cell shape changes and movements. Here is the latest research on the roles of actin and myosin in cell movement.
