  2. Pattern formation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pattern_formation

    Biological patterns such as animal markings, the segmentation of animals, and phyllotaxis are formed in different ways. [2]In developmental biology, pattern formation describes the mechanism by which initially equivalent cells in a developing tissue in an embryo assume complex forms and functions. [3]

  3. VSEPR theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VSEPR_theory

    Another example is O(SiH 3) 2 with an Si–O–Si angle of 144.1°, which compares to the angles in Cl 2 O (110.9°), (CH 3) 2 O (111.7°), and N(CH 3) 3 (110.9°). [24] Gillespie and Robinson rationalize the Si–O–Si bond angle based on the observed ability of a ligand's lone pair to most greatly repel other electron pairs when the ligand ...

  4. RRKM theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RRKM_theory

    The Rice–Ramsperger–Kassel–Marcus (RRKM) theory is a theory of chemical reactivity. [1] [2] [3] It was developed by Rice and Ramsperger in 1927 [4] and Kassel in 1928 [5] (RRK theory [6]) and generalized (into the RRKM theory) in 1952 by Marcus [7] who took the transition state theory developed by Eyring in 1935 into account.

  5. Quantum biology - Wikipedia

    This theory has largely been disproven by FT electron spectroscopy experiments that show electron absorption and transfer with an efficiency of above 99%, [61] which cannot be explained by classical mechanical models. Instead, as early as 1938, scientists theorized that quantum coherence was the mechanism for excitation-energy transfer.

  6. Morphogenesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morphogenesis

    An approach to model morphogenesis in computer science or mathematics can be traced to Alan Turing's 1952 paper, "The chemical basis of morphogenesis", [30] a model now known as the Turing pattern. Another famous model is the so-called French flag model , developed in the sixties.

  7. Regeneration in humans - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regeneration_in_humans

    Nevertheless, this was a huge leap towards whole lung regeneration and transplants for humans, which has already taken another step forward with the lung regeneration of a non-human primate. [ 63 ] Cystic fibrosis is another disease of the lungs, which is highly fatal and genetically linked to a mutation in the CFTR gene .

  8. Neuroregeneration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuroregeneration

    Guillain–Barré syndrome – nerve damage. Neuroregeneration in the peripheral nervous system (PNS) occurs to a significant degree. [5] [6] After an injury to the axon, peripheral neurons activate a variety of signaling pathways which turn on pro-growth genes, leading to reformation of a functional growth cone and regeneration.

  9. Chemical reaction network theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_reaction_network...

    Chemical reaction network theory is an area of applied mathematics that attempts to model the behaviour of real-world chemical systems. Since its foundation in the 1960s, it has attracted a growing research community, mainly due to its applications in biochemistry and theoretical chemistry .
