Extending the mathematical palette for developmental pattern formation: Piebaldism
Piebaldism usually manifests as white areas of fur, hair or skin due to the absence of pigment-producing cells in those regions. The distribution of the white and colored zones does not follow the classical Turing patterns. Here we present a modeling framework for pattern formation that enables to easily modify the relationship between three factors with different feedback mechanisms. These fac...
متن کاملPattern formation and developmental mechanisms.
Developmental regulatory mechanisms, pattern formation, and evolution This issue of (,}~rretzt OpiJfio~l iJl GeJleti~:~ ~ l)~,dopmellt examines mechanisms by which pattern is established during the dexelopment of a broad range of organisms and in a wide ~ariety of tissues. Perhaps the most important message to emerge is that, (m the whole, devclopmental mechanisms have been extraordinarily well...
متن کاملPattern formation and developmental mechanisms
Introduction To understand how animals are built requires understanding of the mechanisms that define: first, how anterior-posterior, dorsal-ventral and left-right axes of polarity are established, second, how this information is interpreted by cells to acquire specific fates, third, how cells translate this information to elicit particular cell behaviors (proliferation, shape change, migration...
متن کاملThe role of mathematical models in understanding pattern formation in developmental biology.
In a Wall Street Journal article published on April 5, 2013, E. O. Wilson attempted to make the case that biologists do not really need to learn any mathematics-whenever they run into difficulty with numerical issues, they can find a technician (aka mathematician) to help them out of their difficulty. He formalizes this in Wilsons Principle No. 1: "It is far easier for scientists to acquire nee...
متن کاملA Mathematical Approach to Territorial Pattern Formation
Territorial behavior is widespread in the animal kingdom, with creatures seeking to gain parts of space for their exclusive use. It arises through a complicated interplay of many different behavioral features. Extracting and quantifying the processes that give rise to territorial patterns requires both mathematical models of movement and interaction mechanisms, together with statistical techniq...
