Intercellular signaling in Myxococcus development: the role of C factor.
Cell communication governs differentiation and morphogenesis in fruiting body formation by Myxococcus xanthus. Transmission of a small short-range intercellular signal by a protein called C factor directs multicellular pattern formation and coordinates the timing of major developmental events.
