Biological Pattern Formation : from Basic Mechanisms to Complex Structures
The reliable development of highly complex organisms is an intriguing and fascinating problem. The genetic material is, as a rule, the same in each cell of an organism. How do then cells, under the influence of their common genes, produce spatial patterns ? Simple models are discussed that describe the generation of patterns out of an initially nearly homogeneous state. They are based on nonlin...

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 کاملModeling Biological Pattern Formation in Embryology
The mechanisms that generate pattern and form in embryogenesis are unknown. Realistic modeling tries to incorporate known biological facts into coherent and rational physicochemical model mechanisms that orchestrate the pattern formation process. Such models can be used to provide the developmental biologist with possible scenarios for how biological pattern and form are created and to suggest ...
متن کاملPattern formation mechanisms in reaction-diffusion systems.
In systems undergoing chemical reaction and diffusion, a remarkable variety of spatially structured patterns, stationary or moving, local or global, can arise, many of them reminiscent of forms and phenomena seen in living systems. Chemical systems offer the advantage that one can often control the parameters that determine the patterns formed and can thereby probe fundamental issues about patt...
