Abstract:Elaborate feedback regulatory processes are thought to make biological developments robust, i.e., resistant to changes induced by genetic or environmental perturbations. How this might be done is still not completely understood. Previous numerical simulations on reaction-diffusion models of Dpp gradients in Drosophila wing imaginal disc showed that feedback (of the Hill's function type) on (signaling) receptors and/or non-(signaling) receptors are of limited effectiveness in promoting robustness. Spatial nonun… Show more
