Abstract

We present an efficient model for describing morphogenesis and the emergence of the six spatiotemporal structures predicted by Turing in synthetic chemical cells.

The model developed is based on the general theory of chemically active droplets, which combines the classical theory of phase separation with reaction-diffusion systems.

We show morphogenesis in this heterogeneous reaction−diffusion system happens through a well-defined chemical−physical mechanism.
