Reaction-diffusion pattern in shoot apical meristem of plants. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 A fundamental question in developmental biology is how spatial patterns are self-organized from homogeneous structures. In 1952, Turing proposed the reaction-diffusion model in order to explain this issue.

Specific Eph receptor-cytoplasmic effector signaling mediated by SAM–SAM domain interactions
eLife, 2018 The Eph receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) family is the largest subfamily of RTKs playing critical roles in many developmental processes such as tissue patterning, neurogenesis and neuronal circuit formation, angiogenesis, etc.

Involvement of the conserved
EvoDevo, 2011 Background Hox proteins specify segment identity during embryogenesis and have typical associated expression patterns. Changes in embryonic expression and activity of Hox genes were crucial in the evolution of animal body plans, but their role in the ...

Spatial patterning of the epigenome during vertebrate gastrulation
Nature CommunicationsA central question in developmental biology is how embryonic cells acquire and store positional information during pattern formation. In vertebrates, this process begins with the localized activation of signaling systems that mediate axial specification.

Primordial Germ Cell Specification and Migration [version 1; referees: 3 approved]
F1000Research, 2015 Primordial germ cells are the progenitor cells that give rise to the gametes. In some animals, the germline is induced by zygotic transcription factors, whereas in others, primordial germ cell specification occurs via inheritance of maternally provided ...

A Cellular Potts Model of the interplay of synchronization and aggregation [PDF]
PeerJWe investigate the behavior of systems of cells with intracellular molecular oscillators (“clocks”) where cell-cell adhesion is mediated by differences in clock phase between neighbors.

Numerical framework and stability analysis of the Gray-Scott model
Open Computer ScienceTuring models of pattern formation provide insight into an intriguing question in developmental biology, like how nature exhibits various structures, shapes, and organized patterns. These natural patterns include the pattern and texture on a desert dune,
