referenceA 1986 study by Vogel RI et al. published in the Journal of Periodontology examined the effects of megadoses of ascorbic acid on polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMN) chemotaxis and experimental gingivitis.
referenceBozonet SM, Carr AC, Pullar JM, and Vissers MC published a study in the journal Nutrients in 2015 reporting that dietary supplementation with vitamin C-rich SunGold kiwifruit enhances human neutrophil vitamin C status, chemotaxis, and oxidant generation.
claimVitamin A deficiency affects functional activities of immune cells, including chemotaxis, phagocytosis, and the ability to generate oxidants that kill invading pathogens.
claimVitamin C stimulates specific leukocyte functions including cellular motility, chemotaxis, and phagocytosis.
Wound Healing Phases - StatPearls - NCBI Bookshelf ncbi.nlm.nih.gov 2 facts
claimThe inflammatory phase of wound healing is characterized by hemostasis, chemotaxis, and increased vascular permeability, which serve to limit further damage, close the wound, remove cellular debris and bacteria, and foster cellular migration.
claimThe inflammatory phase of wound healing begins with hemostasis and chemotaxis.
Panpsychism and dualism in the science of consciousness - PubMed pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov Aug 4, 2024 1 fact
claimBioprotopsychism provides a minimalist approach to consciousness via the triad of chemotaxis, efference copy mechanism, and counterfactual active inference, associating conscious states with the amount of information (best guesses) of the brain engaged in unconscious predictive processing.

procedureBiofilm development occurs in stages: (i) free-living (planktonic) cells attach to a pre-conditioned surface via random propulsion, chemotaxis, or motion, which is initially reversible and influenced by physical and chemical variables; (ii) cells permanently attach using adhesion proteins like fimbriae, followed by the emergence of internal linkages and extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) composed of polysaccharides (e.g., colonic acid, chitosan, alginate), enzymes, RNA, DNA, nutrients, proteins, and surfactants; (iii) the biofilm community undergoes microbial proliferation and communication via chemical signaling, resulting in micro-colony growth.
Pro-Inflammatory Cytokines Overview | Thermo Fisher Scientific - US thermofisher.com 1 fact
referenceIL-8 is classified as a pro-inflammatory cytokine, is produced by macrophages, binds to the IL-8R receptor, targets neutrophils, and functions in chemotaxis for neutrophils and T cells.
Chronic Inflammation - StatPearls - NCBI Bookshelf ncbi.nlm.nih.gov 1 fact
claimThe cytokines IL-1 and TNF-α induce injury-site endothelial cells to release Selectins and Integrins, which stimulate chemotaxis and diapedesis of circulating leukocytes.

referenceJacobs (2012) discusses the function of olfaction, tracing its development from chemotaxis to the cognitive map.
