Collective Signal Processing in Cluster Chemotaxis: Roles of Adaptation, Amplification, and Co-attraction in Collective Guidance
Single eukaryotic cells commonly sense and follow chemical gradients, performing chemotaxis. Recent experiments and theories, however, show that even when single cells do not chemotax, clusters of cells may, if their interactions are regulated by the chemoattractant. We study this general mechanism of "collective guidance" computationally with models that integrate stochastic dynamics for indiv...
متن کاملSignal relay during chemotaxis
The ability of cells to migrate in response to external cues, a process known as chemotaxis, is a fundamental phenomenon in biology. It is exhibited by a wide variety of cell types in the context of embryogenesis, angiogenesis, inflammation, wound healing and many other complex physiological processes. Here, we discuss the signals that control the directed migration of the social amoebae Dictyo...
متن کاملCollective Chemotaxis Requires Contact-Dependent Cell Polarity
Directional collective migration is now a widely recognized mode of migration during embryogenesis and cancer. However, how a cluster of cells responds to chemoattractants is not fully understood. Neural crest cells are among the most motile cells in the embryo, and their behavior has been likened to malignant invasion. Here, we show that neural crest cells are collectively attracted toward the...
متن کاملMinimal and High Order Neural Network Topologies 1 E. Fiesler Minimal and High Order Neural Network Topologies Simtec '93 2
One of the main goals of current neural network research consists in nding the optimal network topology for a given problem. Several methods have been proposed, but a mutual comparison of the resulting topologies remains a problem until proven minimal topologies are found. This paper describes a straightforward method for nding the minimal feed-forward topology for completely deened problems, b...
متن کاملReceptor clustering and signal processing in E. coli chemotaxis.
Chemotaxis in Escherichia coli is one of the most thoroughly studied model systems for signal transduction. Receptor-kinase complexes, organized in clusters at the cell poles, sense chemoeffector stimuli and transmit signals to flagellar motors by phosphorylation of a diffusible response regulator protein. Despite the apparent simplicity of the signal transduction pathway, the high sensitivity,...
