✦ Synopsis

Many models have been proposed for spatial pattern formation in embryology and analyzed for the standard case of zero-flux boundary conditions. However, relatively little attention has been paid to the role of boundary conditions on the form of the final pattern. Here we investigate numerically, the effect of nonstandard boundary conditions on a model pattern generator, which we choose to be of a cell-chemotactic type. We specifically focus on the role of boundary conditions and the effects of scale and aspect ratio, and study the spatiotemporal dynamics of pattern formation. We illustrate the properties of the model by application to the spatiotemporal sequence of skeletal development.

The explicit consideration of space in ecological research is of paramount importance to understand the structure and functioning of ecological systems. In this paper we develop a simple spatially explicit metapopulation model in which colonization is constant and independent of the number of occupi

A model of pattern formation in the early embryo is presented. It is motivated by the necessary interaction of kinases and phosphatases, and in particular by the family of Wnt kinase and RPTP phosphatase signaling pathways. It is seen as complementary to the more short-range patterning of the Delta/

Solid tumours do not develop as a homogeneous mass of mutant cells, rather, they grow in tandem with normal tissue cells initially present, and may also recruit other cell types including lymphatic and endothelial cells. Many solid tumours contain a high proportion of macrophages, a type of white bl
