Turing proposed that an embryo becomes patterned into regions with different anatomical fates by chemical substances called morphogens (literally ‘shape-formers’), which diffuse through ...
Nov 8, 2021 · Nearly seventy years ago Alan Turing, a pioneer of Computer Science, developed a theory to explain how certain patterns in nature could arise spontaneously from simple chemical systems. This idea was a significant departure from much of his previous work on the theory of computation, and used very different kinds of mathematics.
Oct 5, 2021 · Meinhardt was able to provide highly plausible models of many patterning events, most of the dappling and stippling class but also some for seemingly more precision-sensitive processes such as the obviously periodic (regularly spaced) segmentation of the insect body.

Scientists have long been intrigued by a mechanism first predicted by Alan Turing that leads to self-organizing chemical patterns. Now they have a guide to creating them experimentally.

It describes how patterns in nature, such as stripes and spirals, can arise naturally from a homogeneous, uniform state. The theory, which can be called a reaction–diffusion theory of morphogenesis, has become a basic model in theoretical biology. [2] Such patterns have come to be known as Turing patterns.
Jun 20, 2018 · Namely, in a Turing system, how does the topology determine (a) the constraints on diffusion rates, (b) the size of the patterning parameter region, and (c) the phase of each species? More specifically, each panel contains three explicit networks with large differences in these properties.
Nov 8, 2021 · Chemistry in particular has made significant contributions to the study of Turing-type morphogenesis, providing multiple reproducible experimental methods to both predict and study new behaviours and dynamics generated in reaction–diffusion systems.
