Spatial pattern formation in chemical and biological systems
Open accessAbstract
One of the central issues in developmental biology is the formation of spatial pattern in the embryo. A number of theories have been proposed to account for this phenomenon. The most widely studied is reaction diffusion theory, which proposes that a chemical pre-pattern is first set up due to a system of reacting and diffusing chemicals, and cells respond to this pre-pattern by differentiating accordingly. Such patterns, known as Turing structures, were first identified in chemical systems only recently. This article reviews the application of reaction diffusion theory to chemical systems and then considers a number of biological applications.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
