Alan Turing's "theory of morphogenesis" validated after 60 years


Alan Turing was a Genius whose life had a tragic end. After 60 years , he is remembered again.


SNIPPETS from the Article:-
Turing was the first to offer an explanation of morphogenesis through chemistry. He theorized that identical biological cells differentiate, change shape and create patterns through a process called intercellular reaction-diffusion ;

Just as Turing theorized, the once identical structures—now chemically different—also began to change in size due to osmosis.

More than anything, this research further validates Turing as a pioneer across many different fields,
