Dictyostelium cell dynamics
Abstract
This unit describes culturing and imaging of D. discoideum amoebae to study fundamental cellular responses, such as motility and directed migration. The system displays powerful molecular genetics that can be used to link structural determinants of proteins with in vivo cellular functions.
