Waves and patterning in developmental biology: vertebrate segmentation and feather bud formation as case studies [PDF]
The International Journal of Developmental Biology, 2009 In this article we will discuss the integration of developmental patterning mechanisms with waves of competency that control the ability of a homogeneous field of cells to react to pattern forming cues and generate spatially heterogeneous patterns.

Developmental Pattern Formation: Spanish Contributions from a Biophysical Perspective
Biophysica, 2023 During the last few decades, developmental pattern formation has evolved from being a descriptive discipline to a quantitative one. That process has been possible due to the implementation of multidisciplinary approaches where biophysicists and ...

The Intersection of Theory and Application in Elucidating Pattern Formation in Developmental Biology [PDF]
Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena, 2009 We discuss theoretical and experimental approaches to three distinct developmental systems that illustrate how theory can influence experimental work and vice-versa. The chosen systems - Drosophila melanogaster, bacterial pattern formation, and pigmentation patterns - illustrate the fundamental physical processes of signaling, growth and cell division,

Retinoic acid influences the timing and scaling of avian wing development
Cell Reports, 2022 Summary: A fundamental question in biology is how embryonic development is timed between different species. To address this problem, we compared wing development in the quail and the larger chick.

The unappreciated generative role of cell movements in pattern formation
Royal Society Open Science, 2022 The mechanisms underpinning the formation of patterned cellular landscapes has been the subject of extensive study as a fundamental problem of developmental biology.

Agent-based models in cellular systems
Frontiers in Physics, 2023 This mini-review discusses agent-based models as modeling techniques for studying pattern formation of multi-cellular systems in biology. We introduce and compare different agent-based model frameworks with respect to spatial representation ...

The Role of Mathematical Models in Understanding Pattern Formation in Developmental Biology [PDF]
Bulletin of Mathematical Biology, 2014 In a Wall Street Journal article published on April 5, 2013, E. O. Wilson attempted to make the case that biologists do not really need to learn any mathematics-whenever they run into difficulty with numerical issues, they can find a technician (aka mathematician) to help them out of their difficulty. He formalizes this in Wilsons Principle No.

The kinase regulator mob1 acts as a patterning protein for stentor morphogenesis. [PDF]
PLoS Biology, 2014 Morphogenesis and pattern formation are vital processes in any organism, whether unicellular or multicellular. But in contrast to the developmental biology of plants and animals, the principles of morphogenesis and pattern formation in single cells ...

Variability in the control of cell division underlies sepal epidermal patterning in Arabidopsis thaliana. [PDF]
PLoS Biology, 2010 How growth and proliferation are precisely controlled in organs during development and how the regulation of cell division contributes to the formation of complex cell type patterns are important questions in developmental biology.
