The Turing, or reaction-diffusion (RD), model is one of the best-known theoretical models
used to explain self-regulated pattern formation in the developing animal embryo. Although …

It is well known that electrical signals are deeply associated with living entities. Much of our
understanding of excitable tissues is derived from studies of specialized cells of neurons or …

The zebrafish Danio rerio, is an important model organism in developmental genetics,
neurophysiology and biomedicine, but little is known about its natural ecology and …

Vertebrate pigment patterns are diverse and fascinating adult traits that allow animals to
recognize conspecifics, attract mates, and avoid predators. Pigment patterns in fish are …

In addition to biochemical gradients and transcriptional networks, cell behavior is regulated
by endogenous bioelectrical cues originating in the activity of ion channels and pumps …

Oncogenes can initiate tumors only in certain cellular contexts, which is referred to as
oncogenic competence. In melanoma, whether cells in the microenvironment can endow …

The reaction–diffusion system is one of the most studied nonlinear mechanisms that
generate spatially periodic structures autonomous. On the basis of many mathematical …

Colour patterns are prominent features of many animals and have important functions in
communication, such as camouflage, kin recognition and mate choice. As targets for natural …

Significant progress in the molecular investigation of endogenous bioelectric signals during
pattern formation in growing tissues has been enabled by recently developed techniques …

Zebrafish have been increasingly used as a teaching tool to enhance the learning of many
biological concepts from genetics, development, and behavior to the understanding of the …
