Title: From Diffusion to Mechanics: Multiscale Control of Embryonic Patterning
Abstract:
During embryogenesis, morphogens are secreted from localized sources and form concentration gradients that determine cell fates, ultimately leading to axis formation in the embryo. Traditionally, these gradients have been explained by simple diffusion models—much like milk dispersing...
