Worm

  • C. elegans Aggregation

    Introduction Larvae of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans aggregate into clusters of several hundred moving individuals when starved during their first larval stage (see video below). Avery et al. proposed that starved larvae produce and respond chemotactically to two diffusible chemical signals, a short-range attractant and a longer range repellent.

  • Planarian Regeneration (Double Head)

    Spatio-temporal model of planar polarity regulation during planarian regeneration Introduction This simulation reproduces Figure 4D of the referenced paper. Parameter values correspond to the β-catenin-1(RNAi) pattern as given in Table S2 of the referenced paper.

  • Planarian Regeneration (Wild Type)

    Spatio-temporal model of planar polarity regulation during planarian regeneration Introduction This simulation reproduces Figure 4C of the referenced paper. Parameter values correspond to the wild type pattern (control) as given in Table S2 of the referenced paper.
