Resource on Dictyostelium

Different stages of Dictyostelium (click on the image to enlarge) :

One of the most interesting "films" showing Dictyosteliumis on the dictybase.org web site. It clearly shows various signalling centres competing together for "pieces of territory". This video and the model we study have many features in common. To see it click on "Pictures/Video" and then "Development" and then "Dark-field waves of cell shape change in aggregation" or directly click here.
