Computational analysis of the spatiotemporal coordination of polarized PI3K and Rac1 activities in micro-patterned live cells.

Polarized molecular activities play important roles in guiding the cell toward persistent and directional migration. In this study, the polarized distributions of the activities of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) and the Rac1 small GTPase were monitored using chimeric fluorescent proteins (FPs)...
