- The driver for the evolution of adhesion in our model is collective chemotaxis. This is reminiscent of the aggregate phase of the life cycle of Dictyostelium discoideum
- nformation about the direction of the gradient is transmitted mechanically within cell clusters in our mode
- waves of cAMP secretion that travel through the slug.
- s, computational modelling has shown that long-range chemical signalling coupled to cells’ differential adhesion suffices to reproduce D. discoideum’s migration
