Partial Redundancy and Morphological Homeostasis: Reliable Development through Overlapping Mechanisms

How might organisms grow into their desired physical forms in spite of environmental and genetic variation? How do they maintain this form in spite of physical insults? This article presents a case study in simulated morphogenesis, using a physics-based model for embryonic epithelial tissue. The cha...
