The role of spatially controlled cell proliferation in limb bud morphogenesis. by Bernd Boehm, Henrik Westerberg, Gaja Lesnicar-Pucko, Sahdia Raja, Michael Rautschka, James Cotterell, Jim Swoger, James Sharpe

“…By developing a parameter optimization approach (which explores spatial patterns of tissue growth) our computer simulations reveal that the observed distribution of proliferation rates plays no significant role in controlling the distally extending limb shape, and suggests that directional cell activities are likely to be the driving force behind limb bud outgrowth. …”
