Akt kinases are required for efficient feeding by macropinocytosis in Dictyostelium

T. D. Williams, P. Paschke, S.-Y. Peak-Chew, R. R. Kay

The paper shows Akt kinases are essential for efficient fluid uptake via macropinocytosis in Dictyostelium by increasing macropinosome size.

The physiological regulation of macropinocytosis during Dictyostelium growth and development

T. Williams, R. R. Kay

The paper develops a flow cytometry assay to study macropinocytosis in Dictyostelium, showing it is upregulated by nutrients and downregulated by bacteria and starvation.

Probing the effect of uniaxial compression on cell migration

N. Srivastava, R. R. Kay, A. J. Kabla

This study investigates how uniaxial compression affects cell migration in Dictyostelium, showing a rapid transition from pseudopodial to bleb-driven migration under mechanical stress.
