Download or read book Mathematical Models for Biological Pattern Formation written by Philip K. Maini and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This 121st IMA volume, entitled MATHEMATICAL MODELS FOR BIOLOGICAL PATTERN FORMATION is the first of a new series called FRONTIERS IN APPLICATION OF MATHEMATICS. The FRONTIERS volumes are motivated by IMA pro grams and workshops, but are specially planned and written to provide an entree to and assessment of exciting new areas for the application of mathematical tools and analysis. The emphasis in FRONTIERS volumes is on surveys, exposition and outlook, to attract more mathematicians and other scientists to the study of these areas and to focus efforts on the most important issues, rather than papers on the most recent research results aimed at an audience of specialists. The present volume of peer-reviewed papers grew out of the 1998-99 IMA program on "Mathematics in Biology," in particular the Fall 1998 em phasis on "Theoretical Problems in Developmental Biology and Immunol ogy." During that period there were two workshops on Pattern Formation and Morphogenesis, organized by Professors Murray, Maini and Othmer. James Murray was one of the principal organizers for the entire year pro gram. I am very grateful to James Murray for providing an introduction, and to Philip Maini and Hans Othmer for their excellent work in planning and preparing this first FRONTIERS volume. I also take this opportunity to thank the National Science Foundation, whose financial support of the IMA made the Mathematics in Biology pro gram possible.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This series was established to create comprehensive treatises on specific topics in developmental biology. Such volumes serve a useful role in developmental biology, which is a very diverse field that receives contributions from a wide variety of disciplines. This series is a meeting ground for the various practi tioners of this science, facilitating an integration of heterogeneous information on specific topics. Each volume is comprised of chapters selected to provide the conceptual basis for a comprehensive understanding of its topic as well as an analysis of the key experiments upon which that understanding is based. The specialist in any aspect of developmental biology should understand the experimental back ground of the specialty and be able to place that body of information in context, in order to ascertain where additional research would be fruitful. The creative process then generates new experiments. This series is intended to be a vital link in that ongoing process of learning and discovery.
Download or read book Molecular Genetics of Axial Patterning Growth and Disease in Drosophila Eye written by Amit Singh and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-05-18 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drosophila melanogaster (fruit fly) is a highly versatile model with a genetic legacy of more than a century. It provides powerful genetic, cellular, biochemical and molecular biology tools to address many questions extending from basic biology to human diseases. One of the most important questions in biology is how a multi-cellular organism develops from a single-celled embryo. The discovery of the genes responsible for pattern formation has helped refine this question and has led to other questions, such as the role of various genetic and cell biological pathways in regulating the process of pattern formation and growth during organogenesis. The Drosophila eye model has been extensively used to study molecular genetic mechanisms involved in patterning and growth. Since the genetic machinery involved in the Drosophila eye is similar to humans, it has been used to model human diseases and homology to eyes in other taxa. This updated second edition covers current progress in the study of molecular genetic mechanisms of pattern formation, mutations in axial patterning, genetic regulation of growth, and more using the Drosophila eye as a model.

This book was released on 2013-09-14 with total page 375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Undoubtedly, Drosophila melanogaster, fruit fly, has proved to be one of the most popular invertebrate model organisms, and the work horse for modern day biologists. Drosophila, a highly versatile model with a genetic legacy of more than a century, provides powerful genetic, cellular, biochemical and molecular biology tools to address many questions extending from basic biology to human diseases. One of the most important questions in biology focuses on how does a multi-cellular organism develop from a single-celled embryo. The discovery of the genes responsible for pattern formation has helped refine this question, and led to other questions, such as the role of various genetics and cell biological pathways in regulating the crucial process of pattern formation and growth during organogenesis. Drosophila eye model has been extensively used to study molecular genetic mechanisms involved in patterning and growth. Since the genetic machinery involved in the Drosophila eye is similar to humans, it has been used to model human diseases and homology to eyes in other taxa. This book will discuss molecular genetic mechanisms of pattern formation, mutations in axial patterning, Genetic regulation of growth in Drosophila eye, and more. There have been no titles in the past ten years covering this topic, thus an update is urgently needed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Half a billion years of evolution have turned the eye into an unbelievable pattern detector. Everything we perceive comes in delightful multicolored forms. Now, in the age of science, we want to comprehend what and why we see. Two dozen outstanding biologists, chemists, physicists, psychologists, computer scientists and mathematicians met at the Institut d'Hautes Etudes Scientifiques in Bures-sur-Yvette, France. They expounded their views on the physical, biological and physiological mechanisms creating the tapestry of patterns we see in molecules, plants, insects, seashells, and even the human brain. This volume comprises surveys of different aspects of pattern formation and recognition, and is aimed at the scientifically minded reader. p>Sample Chapter(s) Chapter 1.1: Introduction (242 KB) Chapter 1.2: Single blind agent with finite memory (170 KB) Chapter 1.3: Single blind agent with inflnite memory (190 KB) Chapter 1.4: Single sighted agent receiving cues from the environment (one-way exogenous control) (315 KB) Chapter 1.5: Single sighted agent receiving cues from the structure (two-way exogenous control) (165 KB) Chapter 1.6: Single self-controlled agent (endogenous control) (176 KB) Chapter 1.7: Multiple blind agents with finite memory (189 KB) Chapter 1.8: Multiple blind agents with infinite memory (124 KB) Chapter 1.9: Multiple sighted agents (264 KB) Contents:Growth and Form:Paradigms of Pattern Formation — Towards a Computational Theory of Morphogenesis (P Prusinkiewicz)Growth and Form of Sponges and Corals in a Moving Fluid (J A Kaandorp & P M A Sloot)From Pseudo-Random Numbers to Stochastic Growth Models and Texture Images (L P Yaroslavsky)Crystal Growth, Biological Cell Growth, and Geometry (J W Cannon et al.)Recent Results on Aperiodic Wang Tilings (J Kari)Reaction-Diffusion and Beyond:Biological Pattern Formation as a Complex Dynamic Phenomenon (H Meinhardt)Andronov Bifurcations and Sea Shell Patterns (M Argentina & P Coullet)Rational and Irrational Angles in Phyllotaxis (Y Couder & S Douady)Cellular Patterns:Organogenetic Cellular Patterning in Plants (P W Barlow et al.)A Classification of Plant Meristems Based on Cellworks (3D L-Systems).
