morphogenesis – Uncommon Descent

Researchers: Cells organize themselves in our organs by increasing in volume when tissues bend

“The fact that this increase in volume is staggered in time and transient also shows that it is an active and living system,” adds a researcher. Once again, we are expected to believe that such a system can just develop in a gradual Darwinian fashion.

At Nature: Yet the manner in which bodies and tissues take form remains “one of the most important, and still poorly understood, questions of our time”

Recent paper: The problem of biological form remains unsolved

Linde-Medina: “Embryonic development, which inspired the first theories of biological form, was eventually excluded from the conceptual framework of the Modern Synthesis as irrelevant.” Shouldn’t that have been a wakeup call?
