Genecks Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 (edited) I'm reading about this thing called "Sonneborn's cytotaxis," which is also referred to Sonneborn cytotaxis. I have no clue what this is. I'm guessing it's someone's version of cytotaxis? An idea on how things go about moving in cells in terms of chemical and physical dynamics? Anyone have more information on this? Term used in this abstract: http://www.plosbiology.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pbio.0050149 Title: The Mother Centriole Plays an Instructive Role in Defining Cell Geometry Our results represent a clear example of “cytotaxis” as defined by Sonneborn, and suggest that centrioles can play a key function in propagation of cellular geometry from one generation to the next.

CharonY Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 It is simply called cytotaxis. It is only that Sonneborn defined it. Essentially it refers to the arrangement of new cell structure based on existing ones. It assume the plos authors will have cited him somewhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
