Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of attachment of a cell to the extracellular matrix.

The control of viability and duration in the adult phase of the life-cycle.

The contraction and relaxation movements of the pharyngeal muscle that mediate feeding in nematodes.

A cell cycle process that results in the division of the cytoplasm of a cell after mitosis, resulting in the separation of the original cell into two daughter cells.

Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of attachment of a cell to the extracellular matrix.

A vesicle-mediated transport process in which cells take up external materials or membrane constituents by the invagination of a small region of the plasma membrane to form a new membrane-bounded vesicle.

The attachment of one cell to another cell via adhesion molecules that require the presence of calcium for the interaction.

The controlled self-propelled movement of a cell from one site to a destination guided by molecular cues. Cell migration is a central process in the development and maintenance of multicellular organisms.

Formation of myofibrils, the repeating units of striated muscle.

The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the culminant over time, from its formation to the mature structure. Culmination begins with a morphogenetic change of the finger-like or migratory slug giving rise to an organized structure containing a stalk and a sorus. This process is the final stage of sorocarp development.

The attachment of a cell to the underlying substrate via adhesion molecules.

Self-propelled movement of a cell or organism from one location to another.

The directed movement of a motile cell or organism in response to the presence of folate.

The directed movement of a motile cell or organism in response to the presence of 3',5'-cAMP.

Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of exocytosis.

Any process involved in the controlled self-propelled movement of a cell that results in translocation of the cell from one place to another.

Any process that stops, prevents, or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of phagocytosis.

The progression of a muscle structure over time, from its formation to its mature state. Muscle structures are contractile cells, tissues or organs that are found in multicellular organisms.

The process by which the midbody, the cytoplasmic bridge that connects the two prospective daughter cells, is severed at the end of mitotic cytokinesis, resulting in two separate daughter cells.

Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of actin cytoskeleton reorganization.

The part of the cytoskeleton (the internal framework of a cell) composed of actin and associated proteins. Includes actin cytoskeleton-associated complexes.

A vinculin-containing myofibril attachment structure of striated muscle that connects sarcomeres to the extracellular matrix. In nematode body wall muscle, the dense body performs the dual role of Z-disk and costamere.

Small region on the surface of a cell that anchors the cell to the extracellular matrix and that forms a point of termination of actin filaments.

A contractile actin filament bundle that consists of short actin filaments with alternating polarity, cross-linked by alpha-actinin and possibly other actin bundling proteins, and with myosin present in a periodic distribution along the fiber.

A cell-cell adherens junction which forms a continuous belt near the apex of epithelial cells.

A cell-substrate junction found at the terminal anchorage site of skeletal muscle cells to tendons.

The part of the cytoskeleton (the internal framework of a cell) composed of actin and associated proteins. Includes actin cytoskeleton-associated complexes.

The region of the plasma membrane that includes the basal end and sides of the cell. Often used in reference to animal polarized epithelial membranes, where the basal membrane is the part attached to the extracellular matrix, or in plant cells, where the basal membrane is defined with respect to the zygotic axis.

Platelike region of a muscle sarcomere to which the plus ends of actin filaments are attached.

Thin, stiff, actin-based protrusion extended by the leading edge of a motile cell such as a crawling fibroblast or amoeba, or an axonal or dendritic growth cone, or a dendritic shaft.

The area of a motile cell closest to the direction of movement.

A two-stranded helical polymer of the protein actin.

The end of a filopodium distal to the body of the cell.

A stable assembly of two or more macromolecules, i.e. proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates or lipids, in which at least one component is a protein and the constituent parts function together.

The region of a polarized cell that forms a tip or is distal to a base. For example, in a polarized epithelial cell, the apical region has an exposed surface and lies opposite to the basal lamina that separates the epithelium from other tissue.

The region of a cell situated near the base. For example, in a polarized epithelial cell, the basal surface rests on the basal lamina that separates the epithelium from other tissue.
