Morphogenesis at criticality [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2014 Significance Biological networks are described by many parameters, and the behavior of a network is qualitatively different (monostable, bistable, oscillating, etc.) in different parts of parameter space. Critical points and surfaces are the borders between such qualitatively different regimes, as with phase transitions in ...

GEOMETRY OF MORPHOGENESIS [PDF]
BIOMAT 2014, 2015 We introduce a formalism for the geometry of eukaryotic cells and organisms.Cells are taken to be star-convex with good biological reason. This allows for a convenient description of their extent in space as well as all manner of cell surface gradients.

Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Medicine, 2014 Morphogenesis in fungi is often induced by extracellular factors and executed by fungal genetic factors. Cell surface changes and alterations of the microenvironment often accompany morphogenetic changes in fungi. In this review, we will first discuss the general traits of yeast and hyphal morphotypes and how morphogenesis affects development and ...

Picornavirus Morphogenesis [PDF]
Microbiology and Molecular Biology Reviews, 2014 SUMMARY The Picornaviridae represent a large family of small plus-strand RNA viruses that cause a bewildering array of important human and animal diseases. Morphogenesis is the least-understood step in the life cycle of these viruses, and this process is difficult to study because encapsidation is tightly ...

, 2023 These thesis will argue about the importance of Dynamic Parametric Architecture versus Static Parametric Architecture. Describing the architectonical and the algorithmic context within which the Emergency Deployable System emerged, it will be discussed the importance of adaptability as the missing concept of parametric architecture.

A model of morphogenesis [PDF]
Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications, 2004 A new suggestion for pattern formation in biological systems is proposed. The interaction of two signaling pathways provides complex patterning. The interaction of two pathways involves few of the biochemical complexities of the pathways. The 'Wnt' pathway is proposed to be one of these, in interaction with others, one at a time, perhaps sequentially ...

Journal of Computational Biology, 2018 A model of morphogenesis is proposed based on seven explicit postulates. The mathematical import and biological significance of the postulates are explored and discussed.

Circulation Research, 2008 Tubular structures are a fundamental anatomic theme recurring in a wide range of animal species. In mammals, tubulogenesis underscores the development of several systems and organs, including the vascular system, the lungs, and the kidneys.

The morphogenesis of feathers [PDF]
Nature, 2002 Feathers are highly ordered, hierarchical branched structures that confer birds with the ability of flight. Discoveries of fossilized dinosaurs in China bearing 'feather-like' structures have prompted interest in the origin and evolution of feathers. However, there is uncertainty about whether the irregularly branched integumentary fibres on dinosaurs ...

The control of branching morphogenesis [PDF]
Open Biology, 2013 Many organs of higher organisms are heavily branched structures and arise by an apparently similar process of branching morphogenesis. Yet the regulatory components and local interactions that have been identified differ greatly in these organs. It is an open question whether the regulatory processes work according to a common principle and how far ...
