Beschreibung:
Free-living amoebae of Dictyostelium discoideum aggregate when deprived food, guided by the intercellular transmission of signals of adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate. A succession of multicellular forms is then constructed, each with a circular cross section in every plane normal to its central axis. Amoebae are in constant circular and helical motion around the circumference of these structures. A theory is proposed wherein the sustained progagation of waves of cyclic adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate secretion in cellular loops determines their circumference and thereby organizes morphogenesis in this organism.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Clark, R L -- Steck, T L -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1979 Jun 15;204(4398):1163-8.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/221975" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
