A Modified Oster--Murray--Harris Mechanical Model of Morphogenesis
A Modified Oster--Murray--Harris Mechanical Model of Morphogenesis
There are two main modeling paradigms for biological pattern formation in developmental biology: chemical prepattern models and cell aggregation models. This paper focuses on an example of a cell aggregation model, the mechanical model developed by Oster, Murray, and Harris [Development, 78 (1983), pp. 83--125]. We revisit the Oster--Murray--Harris model …
