Cell shape and behaviour for accurate chemotaxis
Eukaryotic chemotaxis involves distinct cell shapes, with movement in shallow gradients dominated by split pseudopods and a single, broad leading edge in steep gradients, but little is known about the significance of these modes. In this thesis, I demonstrate that the shape of aggregating Dictyostel...
