ABSTRACT Interacting morphogens produce periodic patterns in developing tissues. Such patterning can be modelled as reaction-diffusion (RD) processes (as originally formulated by Alan Turing), and although these models have been developed and refined over the years, they often tend to oversimplify biological complexity by restricting the number of interacting morphogens. A new paper in Development reports how perturbation analysis can guide multi-morphogen modelling of the striped patterning the roof of the mouse mouth. To hear more about the story, we caught up with first author Andrew Economou and his former supervisor Jeremy Green, Professor of Developmental Biology at King's College, London.
