The paper designs a synthetic bacterial system that generates self-organized traveling waves through integrated feedback and diffusible signals, showing how circuit architecture and diffusion influence pattern dynamics.

The paper constructs a topological atlas of Turing networks to classify their ability to generate spatial patterns and identifies feedback mechanisms that enable transitions between different self-organizing behaviors.

The paper introduces a self-organizing model for mouse somitogenesis that generates phase waves through local cell communication, recapitulating in vivo and in vitro dynamics.
