| Comments | "Much of [investigators’] understanding of cell motility has come from experiments on the social amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum which has been established as an experimental model system during the past decades (refs 12–14). These cells move rapidly (~10µm/min) and can be very sensitive to chemical cues." |
