Resolving the chemotactic wave paradox: A mathematical model for chemotaxis of Dictyostelium amoebae

The slime mould Dictyostelium discoideum is a widely studied paradigm for biological pattern formation. To provide an explanation for the apparently paradoxical behaviour of Dictyostelium amoebae in the symmetric chemoattractant waves which govern their aggregation, we extend the standard model for...
