Embryo morphogenesis

ModelId: 
embryo1
SimileVersion: 
3.1+

 This model implements ideas developed by John Gurdon, Cambridge University, on the role of activin in morphogenesis. The following gives a biological statement about the system on the left, and the corresponding Simile realisation on the right.

Results: 

 The animation below shows the activin concentration on the left; the SMAD concentrations in the middle, and the resulting cell commitment to cell type on the right.embryo model results
