Positional information and reaction-diffusion: two big ideas in developmental biology combine.

TL;DR: This Hypothesis discusses the relationship between positional information and reaction-diffusion, two fundamental principles governing the arisal of structures and shapes in organisms.
Journal ArticleDOI

Morphogenesis in robot swarms

TL;DR: A demonstration of purely self-organizing behaviors to create emergent morphologies in large swarms of real robots that achieve this collective organization without any self-localization and instead rely entirely on local interactions with neighbors.

High-throughput mathematical analysis identifies Turing networks for patterning with equally diffusing signals

TL;DR: An automated mathematical analysis is developed to derive a catalog of realistic Turing networks that reveal that in the presence of cell-autonomous factors, networks can form a pattern with equally diffusing signals and even for any combination of diffusion coefficients.

Guiding Self-organized Pattern Formation in Cell Polarity Establishment

TL;DR: A study of how single C. elegans cells establish the polarity required for cell division reveals a general principle for pattern formation in living systems controlled by biochemical cues, including a general criterion for controlling biological pattern-forming systems.

Computer modeling in developmental biology: growing today, essential tomorrow

TL;DR: How modeling-based approaches can aid the understanding of developmental processes such as molecular patterning and tissue morphogenesis is explored, highlighting their advantages and limitations, and their crucial role in future research.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Chemical Basis of Morphogenesis

TL;DR: A possible mechanism by which the genes of a zygote may determine the anatomical structure of the resulting organism is discussed, suggesting that certain well-known physical laws are sufficient to account for many of the facts.

A theory of biological pattern formation.

TL;DR: It is shown that relatively simple molecular mechanisms based on auto- and cross catalysis can account for a primary pattern of morphogens to determine pattern formation of the tissue, and the theory is applied to quantitative data on hydra and is shown to account for activation and inhibition of secondary head formation.

Positional information and the spatial pattern of cellular differentiation

TL;DR: These concepts provide a unifying framework within which a wide variety of patterns formed from fields may be discussed, and give new meaning to classical concepts such as induction, dominance and field.

A reaction-diffusion wave on the skin of the marine angelfish Pomacanthus

TL;DR: The striking similarity between the actual and simulated pattern rearrangement strongly suggests that a reaction–diffusion wave is a viable mechanism for the stripe pattern of Pomacanthus.
