Cellular Mobility

Meaning

Cellular mobility refers to the intrinsic capacity of individual cells to move, migrate, and change shape within the tissue matrix. This physiological attribute is vital for numerous biological processes, including embryonic development, wound healing, immune surveillance, and tissue regeneration. The dynamic nature of cell movement is tightly regulated by complex signaling pathways, which are often influenced by local hormonal and growth factor concentrations. Impaired cellular mobility can compromise tissue repair and contribute to chronic disease states.
