quimiotácticas
Quimiotácticas refers to the directed movement of cells or organisms in response to a chemical gradient. This phenomenon plays a crucial role in various biological processes, including immune responses, development, and ecological interactions. Cells can exhibit positive quimiotácticas, moving towards an increasing concentration of a chemical attractant, or negative quimiotácticas, moving away from a repellent. The chemicals that elicit these responses are known as chemoattractants or chemorepellents, respectively.
In the context of the immune system, quimiotácticas is essential for recruiting immune cells to sites of
The mechanism underlying quimiotácticas typically involves specific receptors on the cell surface that bind to the
