In 1952, Alan Turing published the reaction-diffusion (RD) mathematical framework, laying
the foundations of morphogenesis as a self-organized process emerging from …

Proper vertebrae formation relies on a tissue-wide oscillator called the segmentation clock.
Individual cellular oscillators in the presomitic mesoderm are modulated by intercellular …

Across the nervous system, neurons with similar attributes are topographically organized.
This topography reflects developmental pressures. Oddly, vestibular (balance) nuclei are …

Mammalian teeth, developing inseparable from epithelial-mesenchymal interaction, come in
many shapes and the key factors governing tooth morphology deserve to be answered. By …

Turing patterns1 are well-known self-organising systems that can form spots, stripes, or
labyrinths. They represent a major theory of patterning in tissue organisation, due to their …

Axolotls are uniquely able to completely regenerate the spinal cord after amputation. The
underlying governing mechanisms of this regenerative response have not yet been fully …

During mouse development, presomitic mesoderm cells synchronize Wnt and Notch
oscillations, creating sequential phase waves that pattern somites. Traditional …

The specification of rhizoid precursor cells in the epidermis of Marchantia polymorpha
gemmae has been shown to involve lateral inhibition mediated by the microRNA FRH1 …

Aim: To present a condensed but inclusive discussion of the nature of the complex global
system and the impediments to, but also the advantages of, means of prediction and action …
