- Description
- We know that chemotaxis is important and development and disease. We know much less about where chemotactic gradients come from, and how their positions and dynamics are controlled. This talk describes recent advances in self-generated gradients, where the cells make their own gradients as they migrate up them. The results are complex, fascinating, and above all counterintuitive - the best way a cell can steer uses enzymes to break down the stimulus, and this allows cells to probe distant environments without visiting them.
