Speed of pattern appearance in reaction-diffusion models: implications in the pattern formation of limb bud mesenchyme cells.

abstract：:In this paper, we present a model that explains the prepatterning of lymphatic vessel morphology in collagen gels. This model is derived using the theory of two phase rubber material due to Flory and coworkers and it consists of two coupled fourth order partial differential equations describing the evolution of the co...
