The motility of Entamoeba histolytica : finding ways to understand intestinal amoebiasis

Highlights • Motility in E. histolytica is associated with rapid changes in cell morphology. • Migration by E. histolytica varies according to the extracellular matrix density and protease activities. • Amoebic and human proteases act in synergy to drive intestinal infection. • Microfabricated tissu...

Zusammenfassung:	Highlights • Motility in E. histolytica is associated with rapid changes in cell morphology. • Migration by E. histolytica varies according to the extracellular matrix density and protease activities. • Amoebic and human proteases act in synergy to drive intestinal infection. • Microfabricated tissue provides a powerful platform for studying amoebiasis.
