Turing patterns in network-organized activator–inhibitor systems

Differences in diffusion constants of activator and inhibitor species can destabilize biological and chemical processes, leading to the spontaneous emergence of periodic spatial patterns. A general framework now provides the tools for studying such so-called Turing patterns in systems organized in complex networks.
