abstract：:Two key processes are in the basis of morphogenesis: the spatial allocation of cell types in fields of naïve cells and the regulation of growth. Both are controlled by morphogens, which activate target genes in the growing tissue in a concentration-dependent manner. Thus the morphogen model is an intrinsically quantit...
