| Popis: | The social amoeba, Dictyostelium discoideum, has been commonly used to investigate cell motility, signal transduction, cell type differentiation and development. With the recent completion of the genome and the increasing number of experimental tools available for the organism, it has now become an attractive model for examining some well-defined biomedical questions.
