Optimized persistent random walk in zebrafish airineme search process
B378 Seminar room, IBS 55 Expo-ro Yuseong-gu, Daejeon, Korea, Republic ofIn addition to diffusive signals, cells in tissue also communicate via long, thin cellular protrusions, such as airinemes in zebrafish. Before establishing communication, cellular protrusions must find their target cell. In this talk, we demonstrate that the shapes of airinemes in zebrafish are consistent with a persistent random walk model. The probability of contacting the …
