There is increasing evidence that both mechanical and biochemical signals play important
roles in development and disease. The development of complex organisms, in particular …

Skeletal elements have a diverse range of shapes and sizes specialized to their various
roles including protecting internal organs, locomotion, feeding, hearing, and vocalization …

The emergence of Turing structures is of fundamental importance, and designing these
structures and develo** their applications have practical effects in chemistry and biology …

One of the most fundamental questions in biology is that of biological pattern: how do the
structures and shapes of organisms arise? Undoubtedly, the two most influential ideas in …

Patterns are ubiquitous in living systems and underlie the dynamic organization of cells,
tissues, and embryos. Mathematical frameworks have been devised to account for the self …

The central nervous system (CNS) underlies memory, perception, decision-making, and
behavior in numerous organisms. However, neural networks have no monopoly on the …

Turing patterns are fundamental in biophysics, emerging from short-range activation and
long-range inhibition processes. However, their paradigm is based on diffusive transport …

Embryonic development is orchestrated by robust and complex regulatory mechanisms
acting at different scales of organization. In vivo studies are particularly challenging for …

Morphogenesis allows millions of cells to self-organize into intricate structures with a wide
variety of functional shapes during embryonic development. This process emerges from …

Develo** tissues form spatial patterns by establishing concentration gradients of diffusible
signaling proteins called morphogens. The bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) morphogen …
