Chemotaxis is defined as the directional locomotion of cells sensing a gradient of the stimulus. Some cell types, such as monocytes and neutrophils, can be considered as “professional migrants” and for many years the study of chemotaxis has been applied to these cells. However, other cell types including fibroblasts, melanoma cells, keratinocytes, and vascular endothelial cells exhibit directional locomotion in vitro.
