Humans use biological motion to identify and understand familiar actions, which is involved in the neural processes for empathy, communication, and understanding other's intentions. The neural network for biological motion is highly sensitive to the observer's prior experience with the action's biological motions, allowing for embodied learning.
Bacterial gliding is a process of motility whereby a bacterium can move under its own power. Generally, the process occurs whereby the bacterium moves along a surface in the general direction of its long axis. [5] Gliding may occur via distinctly different mechanisms, depending on the type of bacterium.
Cell division. All cells can be considered motile for having the ability to divide into two new daughter cells. [1]Motility is the ability of an organism to move independently using metabolic energy.
Run-and-tumble motion is a movement pattern exhibited by certain bacteria and other microscopic agents. It consists of an alternating sequence of "runs" and "tumbles": during a run, the agent propels itself in a fixed (or slowly varying) direction, and during a tumble, it remains stationary while it reorients itself in preparation for the next run.

Biological processes are those processes that are necessary for an organism to live and that shape its capacities for interacting with its environment. Biological processes are made of many chemical reactions or other events that are involved in the persistence and transformation of life forms.
Cell migration is a central process in the development and maintenance of multicellular organisms.Tissue formation during embryonic development, wound healing and immune responses all require the orchestrated movement of cells in particular directions to specific locations.
Generalizations of Brownian motion, such as the fractional Brownian motion and scaled Brownian motion; Diffusion in fractals and percolation in porous media; Continuous time random walks; These processes have growing interest in cell biophysics where the mechanism behind anomalous diffusion has direct physiological importance.
