Emergent properties of collective gene expression patterns in multicellular systems [PDF]
Multicellular organisms comprise a diverse collection of stable tissues built from different cell types. It remains unclear how large numbers of interacting cells can precisely coordinate their gene expression during tissue self-organization. We develop a generalized model of multicellular gene expression that includes intracellular and intercellular ...
