This is an expository paper concerning the asymptotic behaviour of solutions to the Keller-Segel model \[ \begin{aligned} U_t &= Du\Delta u-\chi\nabla (u \nabla u),\\ V_t & =D_v\Delta v+Au-Bu, \end{aligned} \] defined on a bounded domain and subject to ``no-flux'' boundary conditions. Of particular interest is the problem of chemotaxis collapse (or blow-up). The paper describes both a weakly nonlinear analysis (essentially Turing diffusion driven instabilities) and nonlinear analysis of chemotaxis collapse in two and three dimensions. Topics covered include global existence and corresponding initial value estimates, singular perturbation methods and similarity solution methods. The paper concludes with a selection of ``open'' problems. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0933.00022].
