Tissue Dynamics

Can morphodynamic feedback generate complex body shapes like that of a long and thin flatworm? Introduction During flatworm development and regeneration, morphogens like diffusible Wnt ligands self-organize concentration gradients that contribute to tissue morphogenesis, differentiation and the establishment of the body axes.

How to stop tissue growth at a specific size? Introduction The growth and regeneration of organisms into complex shapes remains largly an open question. This model page presents the reproduction of a theoretical study of Kaity et al.
