This basic science study demonstrates that myosin II is required only at specific stages (aggregation and final stalk/spore formation) during Dictyostelium development.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Myosin II acts at discrete stages in Dictyostelium; leaves open whether analogous temporal requirements govern myosin function in mammalian cardiogenesis.
Springer et al. (1994) studied this question.
