Two physically very different systems. The same patterns in space.

A coincidence?

No — a duality.

Three is more, and different.

2-component mass-conserving reaction-diffusion: coarsens forever.
3-component: maps onto a new active field theory (Active Model B−), forms dots, stripes, foams.

📢Preprint: Positional information (PI) and information flows in dynamic tissues.
Our mathematical framework quantifies, from data, how the coupled stochastic dynamics of cell positions and properties preserve, degrade and generate PI. @axplum https://t.co/xQ8HCTjS5Q

Protein patterns enable cellular processes. A general theory now identifies a non-equilibrium mechanism that generates an effective interfacial tension, shaping the geometry and intrinsic length scales of steady-state protein patterns.
