On the crest of a spiral wave

Nature, 1997, vol. 389, issue 6651, 547-547

Abstract: Subject slime moulds on a surface to starvation and they move chemotactically towards the concentric waves of cyclic AMP that are emitted from the so-called ‘aggregation centre’. Until now, the spiral waves that develop from broken circular waves have been a mystery, but one group believes that it has found the key to these — desynchronization of slime moulds on the developmental path.
