...Junji Chida; Hitomi Yamaguchi; Aiko Amagai; Yasuo Maeda Most unexpectedly, there is now increasing evidence that mitochondria have novel and crucial functions in the regulatory machinery of the growth/differentiation transition, cell-type determination, cellular movement and pattern formation. Here...

... Pattern formation Concentration differences of a few per cent across a cell or a growth cone can be sufficient for their chemotactic orientation (Zigmond, 1977; Baier and Bonhoeffer, 1992). This raises the question of what mechanisms can be responsible for this extraordinary sensitivity. Time...
