Theoretical Studies of Pigment Pattern Formation
A wide variety of patterns can be observed in multicellular organisms. How these various spatial regularities are generated from the seemingly homogeneous field of an egg cell has been a great mystery, and var...

Turing Pattern Formation without Diffusion
Using the pigmentation pattern of zebrafish as the experimental system, we have been studying the mechanism of skin pattern formation. Recent findings of the cellular interactions among the two types of pigmen...

How Animals Get Their Skin Patterns: Fish Pigment Pattern as a Live Turing Wave
There are several theoretical mechanisms that are able to generate spatial patterns autonomously without any pre-pattern.1,2 Among them, the most plausible in the biological system is the reaction-diffusion (RD) ...

Punch Hole Method. A Simplified Bio-Assay Technique of Antibiotic Concentrations
In the bio-assay of antibiotic concentrations in body fluids such as bile, blood, urine, etc., the diffusion of antibiotics into an agar medium is commonly utilized, and the techniques of these bio-assay are u...
