We employ a broad range of molecular and morphological techniques to study gliding motility and the cytoskeletal architecture that supports this fascinating form of cell locomotion. Selected ...

The gliding motility of M. gallisepticum was first observed in the 1960s. However, it has so far been unclear how exactly the gliding mechanism works and which proteins make gliding possible.

The OMU-led research team has been working since 1997 to clarify M. mobile's motility mechanisms.This time, with the help of Osaka University's cryo-electron microscopy equipment, the scientists ...
