A stochastic model for chemotaxis based on the ordered extension of pseudopods.

Biophysical journal - 17 Nov 2010

Van Haastert Peter J M

Abstract excerpt

Many amoeboid cells move by extending pseudopods. Here I present a new stochastic model for chemotaxis that is based on pseudopod extensions by Dictyostelium cells. In the absence of external cues, pseudopod extension is highly ordered with two types of pseudopods: de novo formation of a pseudopo...
