"a group of researchers from the Multicellular Systems Biology lab at the CRG, led by ICREA Research Professor James Sharpe, has provided the long sought-for data which confirms that the fingers and toes are patterned by a Turing mechanism." Full news article @ CRG researchers confirm that a mathematical theory first proposed by Alan Turing in 1952 can explain the formation of fingers. Full paper @ Science.
