Research Abstract |
It is derived that the two-dimensional cell sorting problem is mathematically equivalent to the one-dimensional random walk with pair creations and annihilations, i. e. the adhesion probabilities in the cell sorting model analytically relate to the expectation values in the random walk problem. This is an example that two completely different biological systems are governed by a common mathematical structure. This result is obtained through the equivalences of these systems with lattice spin models. It is also shown that arbitrary generation operators can be written by the spin operators, and hence all of the biological stochastic problems can in principle be analyzed with the use of the techniques and knowledges already obtained in the area of lattice spin systems.
