Predicting nucleation sites in chemotaxing Dictyostelium discoideum

E. O. Asante-Asamani, D. Rawal, Z. Santiago, D. Brazill, J. Loustau

The paper predicts nucleation sites in chemotaxing Dictyostelium discoideum using an energy functional based on membrane geometry and pressure differentials, achieving 96.8% accuracy when restricted to the expected bleb region.
