A mechanistic understanding of robust self-assembly and repair capabilities of complex systems would have enormous implications for basic evolutionary developmental biology as …
Abstract Information for organismal patterning can come from a variety of sources. We investigate the possibility that instructive influences for normal embryonic development are …
Gene regulatory networks (GRNs) process important information in developmental biology and biomedicine. A key knowledge gap concerns how their responses change over time …
An introduction to the fundamental concepts of the emerging field of Artificial Chemistries, covering both theory and practical applications. The field of Artificial Life (ALife) is now firmly …
We provide a rationale for and describe examples of synthetic modeling and simulation (M&S) of biological systems. We explain how synthetic methods are distinct from familiar …
The standard view of embryogenesis is one of cooperation driven by the cells' shared genetics and evolutionary interests. However, numerous examples from developmental …
Exploring their role in the physiology of development and wound repair and pathophysiologies such as cancer, this book describes the importance of biological electric …
A major step forward for developmental biology will be accomplished when someone figures out how to extend the concept of homeostasis to apply to shapes, in the sense of geometric …
