... kinase D signaling prevented branch retraction and significantly altered the characteristic morphology of long proximal segments. 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...

... neurogenesis, because these values were not measured for this purpose. However, we can conclude that our computer simulations with random and non-random tests show that observed cell number ratios are those expected under the hypothesis of lateral inhibition of ceil differentiation between immediate neighbors...

...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...
