Jargon

These sentences are not well explained and have too many unknown initialisms: "The model can be used to explain the differences in gene expression between mice and vole teeth, the signaling center of the tooth, enamel knot, secrets BMPs, FGFs and Shh. Shh and FGF inhibits BMP production, while BMP stimulates both the production of more BMPs and the synthesis of their own inhibitors." DKMell (talk) 00:47, 11 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I think "secrets" is a typo and should be "secretes", the verb, as in "[The] enamel knot secretes [list of three things]". Philh-591 (talk) 16:24, 22 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Any relevance regarding the evolution of the universe in cosmology and astrophysics?

I remember reading about invoking string theory in Mathematics, etc. to explain the "clumpiness" of the universe and the evolution of stars and galaxies. Why not in terms of this notion of Turing patterns? The law of entropy in Thermodynamics suggests an inexorable march from "order" to "chaos", which begs the question of how "order" and "structure" can come about in the first place. Here, we seem to have a plausible explanation for a "creative force" that could conceivably build up "structures" from "chaos" or "randomness". Shumkh925 (talk) 20:29, 1 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Explanation needed

This article never explains what Turing's model is or how it works. Instead, it just lists examples without explanation (and, as mentioned above, too much jargon).
