An excitable Rho GTPase signaling network generates dynamic subcellular contraction patterns

Rho GTPase-based signaling networks control cellular dynamics by coordinating protrusions and retractions in space and time. Here, we reveal a signaling network that generates pulses and propagating waves of cell contractions. These dynamic patterns emerge via self organization from an activator-inh...
