Executing multicellular differentiation: quantitative predictive modelling of C.elegans vulval development
MOTIVATION Understanding the processes involved in multi-cellular pattern formation is a central problem of developmental biology, hopefully leading to many new insights, e.g. in the treatment of various diseases. Defining suitable computational techniques for development modelling, able to perform in silico simulation experiments, is an open and challenging problem. RESULTS Previously, we pr...
متن کاملPredictive modeling of C. elegans vulval development Fisher et al. Predictive Modeling of Signaling Crosstalk during C. elegans Vulval Development
Caenorhabditis elegans vulval development provides an important paradigm for studying the process of cell fate determination and pattern formation during animal development. Although many genes controlling vulval cell fate specification have been identified, how they orchestrate to generate a robust and invariant pattern of cell fates is not yet completely understood. Here, we have developed a ...
متن کاملMulticellular Development, Self-Organization, and Differentiation
This paper describes experiments performed using a multicellular test-bed, the Evolutionary Developmental System (EDS). The EDS is an objectoriented model of biological development designed for the study of 3D multicellular development and differentiation. Genetic regulatory networks are used to specify and control the construction of varied multicellular morphologies. The construction of these...

متن کاملNegative Regulators of Caenorhabditis elegans Vulval Development
During Caenorhabditis elegans vulval development, an inductive signal from the anchor cell stimulates three of the six vulval precursor cells (VPCs) to adopt vulval rather than nonvulval epidermal fates. Genes necessary for this induction include the lin-3 growth factor, the let-23 receptor tyrosine kinase, and let-60 ras. lin-15 is a negative regulator of this inductive pathway. In lin-15 muta...
