A spatial toggle switch drives boundary formation in development.

Abstract excerpt

Herein we introduce a multicellular network motif that performs as a spatial toggle switch and explains how boundary formation can be faithfully accomplished in developmental processes. Importantly, we show that expression and activity patterns of proteins must be simultaneously characterized for a proper understanding and description of the underlying mechanism. Our in silico experiments, in agreement with in...
