Pattern Formation
Status: In Development
Program: Research
Sponsor: Z Corporation
The pattern formation research deals with the visible, (statistically) orderly outcomes of self-organization and the common principles behind similar patterns. Our research allowed us to develop mechanism by which initially equivalent unit in a developing pattern assumes complex forms and functions by coordinated cellular control. Pattern formation is often involves each unit in a field sensing and responding to its position along a morphogen gradient, followed by refinement of initial pattern.
