Modeling and Simulation of Genetic Regulatory Systems: A Literature Review (2002, neutral): “Gierer and Meinhardt have formulated constraints on the functions and parameters in (17) such that an initial steady state can be destabilized by a small (cid:143) uctuation (Gierer, 1981; Gierer and Meinhardt, 1972; Meinhardt, 1982, 2000).”
A Synthetic Genetic Edge Detection Program (2009, background): “Logic and cell-cell communication form the core of regulatory networks that drive fundamental biological processes such as pattern formation (Kondo and Asai, 1995; Meinhardt and Gierer, 2000; Sick et al., 2006) and development (Freeman, 2000; Materna and Davidson, 2007).”
Biological Physics of the Developing Embryo (2005, neutral): “With certain parameter choices reaction--diffusion systems can thus produce morphogen patterns that are significantly more complex than the monotonic gradients that would result from simple morphogen diffusion (Turing, 1952; Harrison, 1993; Meinhardt and Gierer, 2000).”
