Influence of fast advective flows on pattern formation of Dictyostelium discoideum.

Influence of fast advective flows on pattern formation of Dictyostelium discoideum.

We report experimental and numerical results on pattern formation of self-organizing Dictyostelium discoideum cells in a microfluidic setup under a constant buffer flow. The external flow advects the signaling molecule cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) downstream, while the chemotactic cells att...
