Relation: Embryonic Development & Substitution Model • Cellular autonomy  Neighbor independent substitution system Example: cell growth, cell differentiation • Cell signaling relay, cell-cell interaction model  neighbor-dependent substitution model Example: cell-cell adhesion, cell sorting, cell migration, cell growth and death • Positional information/Morphogenesis field theory  Probability substitution model Example: FGF

21. Summary • 1. The substitution system is a suitable tool to enumerate growth process in embryonic development. • 2.The substitution system as applied here can simulate real biological process, like cell division and differentiation. • 3. Global behavior can be described by probability fields, which can link the molecular-signaling level to the cellular level. • 4. Under certain growth probabilities to, the cell motion is still random according to fate map test.

22. Future Work • Find out the suitable growth probability function. • Implement the molecular information into the model. • Application in other developmental system. • Explore random/robustness effects in embryonic development. • Explore surface tension constraints using the Cellular Potts model.
