Hormetic Electric Field Theory of Pattern Formation
Dose-Response, 2010 The hormetic morphogen theory of curvature ( Fosslien 2009 ) proposes that hormetic morphogen concentration gradients modulate the synthesis of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) by cells along the gradients (field cells) and thus regulate their proliferation ...

Response to Nodal morphogen gradient is determined by the kinetics of target gene induction
eLife, 2015 Morphogen gradients expose cells to different signal concentrations and induce target genes with different ranges of expression. To determine how the Nodal morphogen gradient induces distinct gene expression patterns during zebrafish embryogenesis, we ...

浙江大学学报. 农业与生命科学版, 2022 In vertebrates, the development of the central nervous system depends on the correct patterning of the neural tube along its anterior-posterior and dorsal-ventral axes in the early embryo as well as the underlying regulation of the cell differentiation ...

Analysis of a Model Biological Switch [PDF]
, 1985 A model mechanism proposed by Murray [Phil. Traps. Roy. Soc. London B, 295 (1981), pp. 473–496] for generating wing patterns and eyespots on butterflies and moths is based on a morphogen (S) activated biological switch for a gene product (g).

Spatially Distributed Morphogen Production and Morphogen Gradient Formation
Mathematical Biosciences and Engineering, 2005 Partial diferential equations and auxiliary conditions governing the activities of the morphogen Dpp in Drosophila wing imaginal discs were formulated and analyzed as Systems B, R, and C in [7] [9] [10]. All had morphogens produced at the border of anterior and posterior chamber of the wing disc idealized as a point, line, or plane in a one-, two-, or ...

Patterning of the Drosophila retina by the morphogenetic furrow
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2023 Pattern formation is the process by which cells within a homogeneous epithelial sheet acquire distinctive fates depending upon their relative spatial position to each other.

Molecular Systems Biology, 2010 The interpretation of morphogen gradients is a pivotal concept in developmental biology, and several mechanisms have been proposed to explain how gene regulatory networks (GRNs) achieve concentration‐dependent responses.

Well-posedness and asymptotic behavior of a multidimensional model of morphogen transport [PDF]
, 2011 Morphogen transport is a biological process, occurring in the tissue of living organisms, which is a determining step in cell differentiation. We present rigorous analysis of a simple model of this process, which is a system coupling parabolic PDE with ...

Dose-Response, 2009 In vitro, morphogens such as transforming growth factor (TGF)-β can up-and down-regulate cell growth at low and high concentrations respectively, i.e. they behave like hormetic agents.

Decoding temporal interpretation of the morphogen Bicoid in the early Drosophila embryo
eLife, 2017 Morphogen gradients provide essential spatial information during development. Not only the local concentration but also duration of morphogen exposure is critical for correct cell fate decisions.
