Descriptions Names[Advanced Search]

Any process specifically pertinent to the functioning of integrated living units: cells, tissues, organs, and organisms. A process is a collection of molecular events with a defined beginning and end. The process by which the migration of an axon growth cone is directed to a specific target site in response to a combination of attractive and repulsive cues. Any process that is carried out at the cellular level, but not necessarily restricted to a single cell. For example, cell communication occurs among more than one cell, but occurs at the cellular level. Any process involved in the controlled self-propelled movement of a cell that results in translocation of the cell from one place to another. The directed, self-propelled movement of a cellular component without the involvement of an external agent such as a transporter or a pore. The directed, self-propelled movement of a cilium. Any process that stops, prevents or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of the movement of a cellular component. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of the movement of a cellular component. The movement of a cell body from the ventricular zone to the pial surface with a concomitant shortening of the process that extends to the pial surface. The process by which the migration of a dendrite is directed to a specific target site in response to a combination of attractive and repulsive cues. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of the movement of a cellular component.
