Math models morphogenesis and mitosis

In This Issue In This Issue Math models morphogenesis and mitosis hen a budding yeast cell is unable to form a new bud, cell division pauses in G2 phase, either until a bud can grow or until the cell " adapts " to the situation by becoming dinucleate. Ciliberto et al. collected the available experimental data on this morphogenesis checkpoint , and on page 1243 they present a mathematical model ...

Visual Models of Morphogenesis

Mechanocellular models of epithelial morphogenesis.

Embryonic epithelia achieve complex morphogenetic movements, including in-plane reshaping, bending and folding, through the coordinated action and rearrangement of individual cells. Technical advances in molecular and live-imaging studies of epithelial dynamics provide a very real opportunity to understand how cell-level processes facilitate these large-scale tissue rearrangements. However, the...

Vertex models of epithelial morphogenesis.

The dynamic behavior of epithelial cell sheets plays a central role during numerous developmental processes. Genetic and imaging studies of epithelial morphogenesis in a wide range of organisms have led to increasingly detailed mechanisms of cell sheet dynamics. Computational models offer a useful means by which to investigate and test these mechanisms, and have played a key role in the study o...

Models and Mechanisms for Artificial Morphogenesis

Embryological development provides an inspiring example of the creation of complex hierarchical structures by self-organization. Likewise, biological metamorphosis shows how these complex systems can radically restructure themselves. Our research investigates these principles and their application to artificial systems in order to create intricately structured systems that are ordered from the ...
