Turing’s Work on Morphogenesis

In 1952, Alan Turing published “The Chemical Basis of Morphogenesis,” exploring how patterns in nature, like zebra stripes, emerge from chemical reactions. His mathematical models of diffusion and reaction laid the foundation for modern developmental biology (Turing, 1952). How do Turing’s ideas apply to biology today? Ask our AI assistant!
