How a cell crawls and the role of cortical myosin II.

Eukaryotic cell - 1 Sept 2009

Soll David R, Wessels Deborah, Kuhl Spencer, Lusche Daniel F

Abstract excerpt

The movements of Dictyostelium discoideum amoebae translocating on a glass surface in the absence of chemoattractant have been reconstructed at 5-second intervals and motion analyzed by employing 3D-DIAS software. A morphometric analysis of pseudopods, the main cell body, and the uropod provides a comprehensive description of the basic motile behavior of a cell in four dimensions (4D), resulting in a list of 18...
