Models of aggregation in dictyostelium discoideum: On the track of spiral waves
Networks and Heterogeneous Media, 2006 This work is concerned with some aspects of the social life of theamoebae Dictyostelium discoideum (Dd). In particular, we shall focus on the early stages of the starvation-induced aggregation of Dd cells.

Current Issues in Molecular Biology, 2006 The 34 Mb genome of Dictyostelium discoideum is carried on 6 chromosomes and has been fully sequenced by an international consortium. The sequence was assembled on the classical and physical maps that had been built up over the years and refined by HAPPY mapping.

The physiological regulation of macropinocytosis during Dictyostelium growth and development
Journal of Cell Science, 2017 Macropinocytosis is a conserved endocytic process used by Dictyostelium amoebae for feeding on liquid medium. To further Dictyostelium as a model for macropinocytosis, we developed a high-throughput flow cytometry assay to measure macropinocytosis, and ...

Perspective on Interdisciplinary Approaches on Chemotaxis. [PDF]
Angew Chem Int Ed EnglChemotaxis is the movement of individual organisms towards or away from a chemical stimulus. This phenomenon is investigated in various disciplines, ranging from biology to physics and even engineering. This perspective aims to summarise recent developments in the field and encourage the unification of terminology to promote interdisciplinary knowledge
