Adjective
chemotactic (not comparable)
relating to or exhibiting chemotaxis
Chemotaxis related migratory responses Receptors In general, eukaryotic cells sense the presence of chemotactic stimuli through the use of 7-transmembrane (or serpentine) heterotrimeric G-protein -coupled receptors. Source: Internet
There appear to be mechanisms by which an external chemotactic gradient is sensed and turned into an intracellular PIP3 gradient, which results in a gradient and the activation of a signaling pathway, culminating in the polymerisation of actin filaments. Source: Internet
Generation of a factor chemotactic for polymorphonuclear leukocytes. Source: Internet
Isotretinoin reduces inflammation via inhibition of chemotactic responses of monocytes and neutrophils. Source: Internet
Modification of endogenous chemotactic ability of these microorganisms by pharmaceutical agents can decrease or inhibit the ratio of infections or spreading of infectious diseases. Source: Internet
The chemotactic aggregation of cells is organized by periodic waves of cAMP that propagate between cells over distances as large as several centimetres. Source: Internet
