Cell migration directionality and speed are independently regulated by RasG and Gβ in Dictyostelium cells in electrotaxis

Cell migration directionality and speed are independently regulated by RasG and Gβ in Dictyostelium cells in electrotaxis

Motile cells manifest increased migration speed and directionality in gradients of stimuli, including chemoattractants, electrical potential and substratum stiffness. Here, we demonstrate that Dictyostelium cells move directionally in response to an electric field (EF) with specific acceleration/dec...
