Eat Prey, Live: Dictyostelium discoideum As a Model for Cell-Autonomous Defenses
Frontiers in Immunology, 2018 The soil-dwelling social amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum feeds on bacteria. Each meal is a potential infection because some bacteria have evolved mechanisms to resist predation. To survive such a hostile environment, D.

Cooperative cell motility during tandem locomotion of amoeboid cells. [PDF]
, 2016 Streams of migratory cells are initiated by the formation of tandem pairs of cells connected head to tail to which other cells subsequently adhere. The mechanisms regulating the transition from single to streaming cell migration remain elusive, although ...

Functional Analysis of Spontaneous Cell Movement under Different Physiological Conditions [PDF]
, 2008 Cells can show not only spontaneous movement but also tactic responses to environmental signals. Since the former can be regarded as the basis to realize the latter, playing essential roles in various cellular functions, it is important to investigate ...

Oscillatory cAMP cell-cell signalling persists during multicellular Dictyostelium development
Communications Biology, 2019 Propagating waves of cAMP, periodically initiated in the aggregation centre, are known to guide the chemotactic aggregation of hundreds of thousands of starving individual Dictyostelium discoideum cells into multicellular aggregates.
