A computer simulation of dendrite branch dynamics using simple parameters from experimental measurements reproduced the time-dependent changes in the dendrite configuration...

... blastocyst and proposed the mechanical constraint model. Here we apply computer simulation to clarify the minimal cellular properties required for this morphology. The simulation is based on three assumptions: (1) behavior of cell aggregates is simulated by a 3D vertex dynamics model; (2) all cells have...

... inhibition cell differentiation neurogenesis computer simulation Voronoi Dirichlet It has often been proposed that lateral inhibition of cell differentiation mediates the development of a pattern of heterogeneous cells from a set of homogeneous cells (e.g., Wigglesworth, 1940 ; Mitchison...

...P. M. Iannaccone; W. C. Weinberg; L. Berkwits ABSTRACT The analysis of pattern development in mosaic and chimaeric animals has provided insight into a number of developmental problems. In order to aid the understanding of the dynamics of the development of mosaic tissues, a computer simulation...

... cells (C-cells) and gland cells (G-cells) assembled in alternating blocks. The pattern develops, during sexual maturation, from a kagome-like pattern (in which large C-cells are surrounded by small G-cells) characteristic of the immature oviduct. In the present paper, computer simulations of the pattern...
