Multiscale modeling of oscillations and spiral waves in Dictyostelium populations
, 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.

Adhesion of Dictyostelium Amoebae to Surfaces: A Brief History of Attachments
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022 Dictyostelium amoebae adhere to extracellular material using similar mechanisms to metazoan cells. Notably, the cellular anchorage loci in Amoebozoa and Metazoa are both arranged in the form of discrete spots and incorporate a similar repertoire of ...

A Stochastic Description of Dictyostelium Chemotaxis
PLoS ONE, 2012 Chemotaxis, the directed motion of a cell toward a chemical source, plays a key role in many essential biological processes. Here, we derive a statistical model that quantitatively describes the chemotactic motion of eukaryotic cells in a chemical gradient.

Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 21, June 5, 2025.Leukocytes sense mechanical cues provided by surrounding cells to regulate motility. Replicating the confining pressures applied by soft, elastic tissues in vitro is challenging. Here, the use of liquid‐liquid interfaces is introduced to model forces exerted by surrounding cells. Confining pressures are tunable by controlling interfacial curvature, and

Dictyostelium: The Mathematician's Organism [PDF]
Current Genomics, 2013 This article was to have been written by Kees Weijer, an outstanding pioneer in Dictyostelium research. It was (and is) to celebrate J.T. Bonner's and Weijer's contributions to the field and those of the other great pioneers. Unfortunately, Weijer was unable to write his article, due to ill health and since I have some knowledge of this field, I took ...

BioEssays, Volume 47, Issue 6, June 2025.Cell shape changes underlie animal development, physiology, and disease. The cell surface is mechanosensitive to the microenvironment and cytoskeleton activities, which generate plasma membrane topographies recognized and affected by Arp2/3 actin network induction pathways to remodel cell shape during immune cell migration, neural progenitor cell ...

Biomolecules, 2019 Cytokinins (CKs) are a family of evolutionarily conserved growth regulating hormones. While CKs are well-characterized in plant systems, these N6-substituted adenine derivatives are found in a variety of organisms beyond plants, including bacteria, fungi,

Multi‐Omic Analysis of Glutamate Excitotoxicity in Primary Neuronal Cultures
Journal of Neurochemistry, Volume 169, Issue 6, June 2025.Our study on rat neuron cells found 250 μM glutamate to be toxic, causing neuron death. We identified genes in pathways linked to apoptosis, neuron plasticity, and cell signaling, along with proteins regulating the cell cycle and tumor proliferation.

SILAC-based proteomic quantification of chemoattractant-induced cytoskeleton dynamics on a second to minute timescale [PDF]
, 2014 Cytoskeletal dynamics during cell behaviours ranging from endocytosis and exocytosis to cell division and movement is controlled by a complex network of signalling pathways, the full details of which are as yet unresolved.
