Turing Patterns in a Morphogenetic Model with Single Regulatory FunctionConfirming Turing's theory of morphogens in developmental processes is challenging, and synthetic biology has opened new avenues for testing Turing's predictions. Synthetic mammalian pattern formation has been recently achieved through a reaction-diffusion system based on the short-range activator (Nodal) and the long-range inhibitor (Lefty) topology, where a single function regulates both morphogens. In this paper, we investigate the emergence of Turing patterns in the synthetic Nodal-Lefty sy…
