Abstract

In this work, we jointly measure the intracellular flow, traction stresses and free intracellular calcium level in physarum microplasmodium during amoeboid locomotion. Our mea- surements relates, for the first time, the intracellular mass transportation, the forces applied on the substrate and the signal of [Ca2+]i with high resolution in both time and space.
