| Research Abstract |
Biological pattern formation is linked to its functionality, and it is quite different from patterns of non-living system. We are trying to construct a mathematical framework to describe biological pattern formations. In this research, we selected pattern formation of lung and remodeling of vascular network as themes, and studied these systems from the point of view of autonomous decentralized system. Concentration of FGF10 in the former and sear stress and pressure of the blood in the latter are the key information, and cells correspond to these local information. Our mathematical model could reproduced functional networks in each case.
