Fluctuation-Driven Morphological Patterning: A Novel Approach to Morphogenesis

The paper introduces a model where stochastic fluctuations drive morphological pattern formation, showing how fluctuations determine the dynamics of a phase transition in a one-dimensional tissue.

Hydra morphogenesis as phase-transition dynamics

The paper uses Hydra regeneration to develop a physics framework for morphogenesis, showing that Ca2+ fluctuations drive a phase transition from spherical to elongated shape.

Universal Calcium fluctuations in Hydra morphogenesis

The paper shows that calcium fluctuations in Hydra regeneration exhibit universal properties and are modulated by external controls, maintaining regeneration ability.
