Aggregation territory formation and cell streaming in a model of the cellular slime mould Dictyostelium discoideum

A reaction-diffusion-advection model of multicellular morphogenesis during in the aggregation phase of the microorganism Dictyostelium discoideum is reviewed. Linear analysis identifies a novel chemotaxis-driven instability which appears to underlie the cell streaming phenomenon observed experimenta...
