Influence of Flow and Spatial Heterogeneities on Pattern Formation of Dictyostelium discoideum
[thesis]
Preserved Fulltext
In the present cumulative thesis the reaction-di↵usion equations modeling the signaling process of the social amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum were studied. The pattern formation process in this organism, corresponding to the production and relay of waves of the chemoattractant cAMP, was perturbed under two particular conditions: advecting flows and millimetric obstacles. The model was studied through analytical calculations, when suitable approximations were possible, and numerical simulations.
