Abstract

Differentiation waves usually spread in embryonic epithelia until they reach boundaries whose stopping power has been unexplained. Bioelectricity in embryos has two ranges: cell-to-cell and long-range. It is postulated here that the long-range component somehow alters gap junctions and/or intermediate filaments, creating the boundaries for the trajectories of differentiation waves. A combined EIT (Electric Impedance Tomography)/visual microscope is proposed to investigate this proposed correlation.

胚胎生物电流与分化波有关系吗？

分化波通常在胚胎上皮中扩散，直到到达边界，其阻止能力尚未解释。胚胎中的生物电有两个范围：细胞间的和远距离的。这里假设远程分量以某种方式改变间隙连接和/或中间细丝，为分化波的轨迹创造边界。我们建议使用电阻抗断层扫描(EIT)/视觉显微镜来研究这种相关性。

期刊介绍： BioSystems encourages experimental, computational, and theoretical articles that link biology, evolutionary thinking, and the information processing sciences. The link areas form a circle that encompasses the fundamental nature of biological information processing, computational modeling of complex biological systems, evolutionary models of computation, the application of biological principles to the design of novel computing systems, and the use of biomolecular materials to synthesize artificial systems that capture essential principles of natural biological information processing.
