Abstract Synopsis
- The development of digits in limbs is regulated by a Turing network involving Bmp, Sox9, and Wnt molecules, which interact through diffusible signals to create the patterning of digital and interdigital regions.
- Researchers used experiments and computer modeling to show that this network, influenced by morphogen gradients, accurately reproduces digit formation and Sox9 expression patterns seen in both normal and experimental conditions.
- The study suggests that a combination of growth signals (morphogen gradients) and a self-organizing Turing mechanism ensures reliable and consistent formation of digit patterns during limb development.
