Population genomics of rapid adaptation by soft selective sweeps
TL;DR: It is argued that soft sweeps might be the dominant mode of adaptation in many species, either because they were already present as standing genetic variation or arose independently by recurrent de novo mutations.

Self-organised spatial patterns and chaos in a ratio-dependent predator-prey system
Malay Banerjee,Sergei Petrovskii +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider spatiotemporal pattern formation in a ratio-dependent predator-prey system and show that the system can develop patterns both inside and outside of the Turing parameter domain.

TL;DR: This study identifies how a discrete von Neumann cellular automaton emerges from a continuous Turing reaction–diffusion system and indicates that cellular automata are not merely abstract computational systems, but can directly correspond to processes generated by biological evolution.

Atherosclerosis — An Inflammatory Disease
TL;DR: Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory disease as discussed by the authors, and it is a major cause of death in the United States, Europe, and much of Asia, despite changes in lifestyle and use of new pharmacologic approaches to lower plasma cholesterol concentrations.

The Chemical Basis of Morphogenesis
TL;DR: In this article, it is suggested that a system of chemical substances, called morphogens, reacting together and diffusing through a tissue, is adequate to account for the main phenomena of morphogenesis.

Calcium signalling: dynamics, homeostasis and remodelling
TL;DR: The Ca2+-signalling toolkit is used to assemble signalling systems with very different spatial and temporal dynamics and has a direct role in controlling the expression patterns of its signalling systems that are constantly being remodelled in both health and disease.
