Abstract
Eukaryotic cells can undergo chemorepulsion, but the molecular mechanisms behind this phenomenon have remained unclear. Using Dictyostelium cells, a new study shows that competition of two ligands for the same receptors results in chemorepulsion, thus revealing a simple rule for eukaryotic cells to achieve negative chemotaxis.
