Abstract excerpt
For many years it has been known that developing cells of Dictyostelium discoideum show periodic surges as they aggregate. When it was discovered that the cells were responding chemotactically to cAMP gradients produced within the populations, experiments were carried out that demonstrated similar periodic changes in the concentration of extracellular cAMP. Moreover, homogenous populations of developed cells held...
