Mathematical models for morphogenesis: Linear or nonlinear diffusion. Comment on 'Morphogenetic action through flux-limited spreading' by Verbeni, Sánchez, Mollica, Siegl-Cachedenier, Carleton, Guerrero, Ruiz i Altaba, Soler. (Note)

摘要

Attempts to shed lights on morphogenetic actions through mathematical modeling have been going on at least since the pioneering work of Turing [9] (see for instance [5] for a more recent overview). The models are based on reaction-diffusion systems and have enjoyed a considerable popularity due to their ability to reproduce some of the patterns observed in living organisms.
