Prestalk-like positioning of de-differentiated cells in the social amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum

Prestalk-like positioning of de-differentiated cells in the social amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum

Abstract The social amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum switches between solitary growth and social fruitification depending on nutrient availability.
