3D Agent-based modeling without chemical signaling recreatescollective behaviors seen in Myxococcus xanthus colonies
Katherine Copenhagen, Matthew E. Black, Joshua W. Shaevitz
This study uses 3D agent-based simulations to show that changes in cell motility, without chemical signaling, can recreate collective behaviors and fruiting body formation in M. xanthus colonies.
