Investigation of a potential role for aldose reductase AlrA in tetrahydropteridine synthesis in Dictyostelium discoideum Ax2

open access: yesPteridines, 2017
Dictyostelium discoideum Ax2 is well-known for the synthesis of d-threo-tetrahydrobiopterin (DH4) with a smaller amount of l-erythro-tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4).

Inference of the drivers of collective movement in two cell types: Dictyostelium and melanoma [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Collective cell movement is a key component of many important biological processes, including wound healing, the immune response and the spread of cancers.

Web-enabled knowledge-based analysis of genetic data [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
We present a web-based implementation of GenePath, an intelligent assistant tool for data analysis in functional genomics. GenePath considers mutant data and uses expert-defined patterns to find gene-to-gene or gene-to-outcome relations.

TheDictyosteliumGenome [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent 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.

Microscale adhesion patterns for the precise localization of amoeba [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
In order to get a better understanding of amoeba-substrate interactions in the processes of cellular adhesion and directional movement, we engineered glass surfaces with defined local adhesion characteristics at a micrometric scale. Amoeba (Dictyostelium

Patterns of cell movement within the Dictyostelium slug revealed by cell type-specific, surface labeling of living cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 1994
There are cells acattered in the rear, prespore region of the Dictyostelium slug that share many of the properties of the prestalk cells and that are therefore called anterior-like cells (ALCs).

Multiscale modeling of oscillations and spiral waves in Dictyostelium populations

open access: yes, 2014
Unicellular organisms exhibit elaborate collective behaviors in response to environmental cues. These behaviors are controlled by complex biochemical networks within individual cells and coordinated through cell-to-cell communication.

Digital image processing of optical density wave propagation in Dictyostelium discoideum and analysis of the effects of caffeine and ammonia [PDF]

open access: yes, 1989
Waves of chemotactic movement during the early phase of aggregation in Dictyostelium discoideum were analyzed by digital image processing in a manner that immediately shows the following parameters: wave propagation velocity, period length, wave ...

Multi-color fluorescence live-cell imaging in Dictyostelium discoideum

open access: yesCell Structure and Function
The cellular slime mold Dictyostelium discoideum, a member of the Amoebozoa, has been extensively studied in cell and developmental biology. D. discoideum is unique in that they are genetically tractable, with a wealth of data accumulated over half a ...

Protection of spores from ultraviolet-C irradiation by auto-fluorescent substances in the spore mass of the cellular slime mold Dictyostelium discoideum

open access: yesPteridines, 2014
In this study, native spores surrounded by fluorescent substances in the spore mass of Dictyostelium discoideum were found to be resistant to relatively strong ultraviolet-C (UV-C) irradiation (2880 J/m2).
