Biological soliton in multicellular movement.

Scientific reports - 1 Jan 2013

Kuwayama Hidekazu, Ishida Shuji

Abstract excerpt

Solitons have been observed in various physical phenomena. Here, we show that the distinct characteristics of solitons are present in the mass cell movement of non-chemotactic mutants of the cellular slime mould Dictyostelium discoideum. During starvation, D. discoideum forms multicellular structures that differentiate into spore or stalk cells and, eventually, a fruiting body. Non-chemotactic mutant cells do not...
