chemotaxis in English

noun
1
movement of a motile cell or organism, or part of one, in a direction corresponding to a gradient of increasing or decreasing concentration of a particular substance.
They may stimulate different functions including angiogenesis, enzyme production, cell migration, chemotaxis , and cellular proliferation.

20. Chemokines are a type of cytokine (a short-lived secreted protein that regulates the function of nearby cells) and may be described more specifically as chemotactic cytokines, because of their ability to cause certain cells in close proximity to undergo directed chemotaxis (cellular movement in response to chemical signals).

21. Chemokines are signaling proteins secreted by cells of the immune system that stimulate the movement of other cells. Their name is reminiscent of their function since it is derived from chemotaxis, or movement in response to a chemical stimulus, and cytokines, which are small proteins implicated in cell signaling.

22. Chemokines are a family of chemoattractant cytokines (small proteins secreted by cells that influence the immune system) which play a vital role in cell migration through venules from blood into tissue and vice versa, and in the induction of cell movement in response to a chemical (chemokine) gradient by a process known as chemotaxis (Figure 1).
