A gradient method for the quantitative analysis of cell movement and tissue flow and its application to the analysis of multicellular Dictyostelium development [PDF]
, 1994 We describe the application of a novel image processing method, which allows quantitative analysis of cell and tissue movement in a series of digitized video images. The result is a vector velocity field showing average direction and velocity of movement

Fate and regulation of anterior-like cells in Dictyostelium slugs [PDF]
, 1982 A pattern of two tissue types exists in the Dictyostelium slug. Contained within the posterior tissue are anterior-like cells which comprise about 10% of the developing cell mass.

Leaps and lulls in the developmental transcriptome of Dictyostelium discoideum
BMC Genomics, 2015 Development of the soil amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum is triggered by starvation. When placed on a solid substrate, the starving solitary amoebae cease growth, communicate via extracellular cAMP, aggregate by tens of thousands and develop into ...

Mitochondrial potassium channels in Dictyostelium discoideum [PDF]
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Bioenergetics, 2012 Mitochondria are crucial not only in energy metabolism but also in regulation of cell senescence and apoptosis. The strict control of inner mitochondrial membrane permeability and selective ion transport is essential for mitochondria functioning. Potassium ions homeostasis is an important process for mitochondrial optimal functioning.

Cell Sorting daring Pattern Formation in Dictyostelium [PDF]
, 1981 Formation of the prestalk-prespore pattern in Dictyostelium was investigated in slugs and submerged clumps of cells. Prestalk and prespore cells were identified by staining with vital dyes, which are shown to be stable cell markers.
