Interaction of motility, directional sensing, and polarity modules recreates the behaviors of chemotaxing cells.

Chemotaxis involves the coordinated action of separable but interrelated processes: motility, gradient sensing, and polarization. We have hypothesized that these are mediated by separate modules that account for these processes individually and that, when combined, recreate most of the behaviors of...
