    This concept has since been widely cited and the concept of a boundary object has been adopted in computer science (particularly computer supported cooperative work), information science, [4] and management, particularly when considering cross-disciplinary work and collaboration, [5] either within one organization or with the boundary object helping to focus the efforts of multiple organizations.

  4. Compartment (development) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compartment_(development)

    Compartment boundaries establish these organizing centers [5] [7] by providing the source of morphogens [9] that are responsible for the positional information required for development and regeneration. [9] [10] The inability of cell competition to occur across the boundary, indicates that each compartment serves as an autonomous unit of growth.

    The hypothetical input cells (BVCs) responded to environmental boundaries at particular distances and allocentric directions from the rat. Separate studies emerging from different research groups identified cells with these characteristics in the subiculum, [ 4 ] [ 5 ] entorhinal cortex [ 6 ] [ 7 ] and pre- and para-subiculum [ 8 ] where they ...

    Topologically associating domains within chromosome territories, their borders and interactions. A topologically associating domain (TAD) is a self-interacting genomic region, meaning that DNA sequences within a TAD physically interact with each other more frequently than with sequences outside the TAD.
