New theory deepens understanding of Turing patterns

*English, Spanish, and Catalan subtitles are available* A team of researchers at EMBL have expanded Alan Turing’s theory on how patterns are created in biological systems. This work, published 20 June in Physical Review X, may answer whether nature’s patterns are governed by Turing’s mathematical model and could have applications in tissue engineering.
