Abstract
Chemotaxis is a fundamentally important part of biology, but we know very little about how gradients of chemoattractant are formed. One answer is self-generated gradients, in which the moving cells break down the attractant to provide their own gradient as they migrate. Here we discuss where self-generated gradients are known, how they can be recognized, and where they are likely to be found in the future.
