Reactive/Less-cooperative individuals advance population's synchronization: Modeling of Dictyostelium discoideum concerted signaling during aggregation phase.

Orchestrated chemical signaling of single cells sounds to be a linchpin of emerging organization and multicellular life form. The social amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum is a well-studied model organism to explore overall pictures of grouped behavior in developmental biology. The chemical waves secre...
