1. Turing's model for pattern formation
University essay from KTH/FysikAbstract : In an attempt to describe how patterns emerge in biological systems, Alan Turing proposed a mathematical model encapsulating the properties of such processes. It details a partial differential equation governing the dynamics of two or more substances, called morphogens, reacting and diffusing in a specific manner, in turn generating what has now come to be denoted as Turing patterns.

2. Modelling of gene regulatory and spatial mechanisms which pattern the early human neural tube
University essay from Lunds universitet/Beräkningsbiologi och biologisk fysik - Genomgår omorganisationAbstract : Tissue patterning during development is thought to be driven largely by gene regulatory responses to spatial gradients of molecular signals, known as morphogens. In this thesis, early patterning of the human neural tube is studied using two different gene regulatory network models. READ MORE

3. A comparative study of stochastic and deterministic simulation methods for transport-diffusion systems
University essay from Lunds universitet/Beräkningsbiologi och biologisk fysik - Genomgår omorganisation; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för astronomi och teoretisk fysik - Genomgår omorganisationAbstract : The growth of tissues and organs in plants is governed by the morphogen auxin coupled with the membrane protein PIN, which together generate patterns that guide development. Systems of this kind have been studied extensively in experiments and computational system biology models. READ MORE

4. Computational Stochastic Morphogenesis
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Avdelningen för beräkningsvetenskapAbstract : Self-organizing patterns arise in a variety of ways in nature, the complex patterning observed on animal coats is such an example. It is already known that the mechanisms responsible for pattern formation starts at the developmental stage of an embryo. However, the actual process determining cell fate has been, and still is, unknown. READ MORE
