Abstract

The Turing reaction-diffusion model proposes that short-range activators and long-range inhibitors can generate complex patterns. In a Science study, Müller et al. (2012) assess behavioral determinants of Nodal and Lefty, TGFβ-related molecules that constitute an activator/inhibitor system, and provide evidence that the factors indeed form a reaction-diffusion system.
