Microbiologists often use the terms " amoeboid " and " amoeba " interchangeably for any organism that exhibits amoeboid movement.
2.
P . polycephalum is one of the easiest eukaryotic microbes to grow in culture, and has been used as a model organism for many studies involving amoeboid movement and cell motility.
3.
In eukaryotic unicellular cells, amoeboid movement and cilium or the eukaryotic flagellum are the main effectors ( e . g ., immune cells also move to where they need to be.
4.
In cancer cells, NEDD9 can drive mesenchymal-type movement by activating RAC1 GTPase and WAVE in complex with its GEF DOCK3, which in turn cause inhibition of GTPase Rho and amoeboid movement.
