A ‘dynamic adder model’ for cell size homeostasis in Dictyostelium cells

Abstract After a cell divides into two daughter cells, the total cell surface area of the daughter cells should increase to the original size to maintain cell size homeostasis in a single cell cycle. Previously, three models have been proposed to explain the regulation of cell size homeostasis: size...
