DPF is a cell-density sensing factor, with cell-autonomous and non-autonomous functions during Dictyostelium growth and development
Abstract Background Cellular functions can be regulated by cell-cell interactions that are influenced by extra-cellular, density-dependent signaling factors. Dictyostelium grow as individual cells in nutrient-rich sources, but, as nutrients become depleted, they initiate a multi-cell developmental p...
