Substrate and cell fusion influence on slime mold network dynamics

Abstract The acellular slime mold Physarum polycephalum provides an excellent model to study network formation, as its network is remodelled constantly in response to mass gain/loss and environmental conditions. How slime molds networks are built and fuse to allow for efficient exploration and adapt...
