✦ Synopsis

Differential equations have been written and solved to describe the concentration gradients for the two hydra growth factors. The equations consider diffusion, catabolism and synthesis of the materials based primarily on the model of hydra growth described by A. L. Burnett. Concentration gradient profiles were obtained which correspond with the concentration gradients deduced from experimental

## Abstract The chemokine receptor CXCR4 and its ligand CXCL12 play an important role in breast cancer invasion and metastasis, and induce the chemotaxis of various types of cancer cells. Previous studies of CXCL12‐induced chemotaxis have, for the most part, relied on endpoint assays (e.g., transwe

Gradients of diffusible and substrate-bound molecules play an important role in guiding axons to appropriate targets in the developing nervous system. Although some of the molecules involved have recently been identified, little is known about the physical mechanisms by which growth cones sense grad
