Dynamical noisy canalization in morphogenesis: lessons from Hydra regeneration
Oded Agam, Erez Braun
Developmental robustness is framed as progress through a fixed Waddington-type landscape. We argue that in morphogenesis this landscape evolves through coupled bio-signaling, mecha…

Rupture-Repair Cycles in Regenerating Hydra Tissues
Oded Agam, Erez Braun
Destructive mechanical breakdowns and fractures are ubiquitous events in driven physical matter; living tissues, by contrast, can rupture repeatedly while restoring integrity. Here…

The Dual Nature of Body-Axis Formation in Hydra Regeneration: Polarity-Morphology Concurrency
Oded Agam, Erez Braun
The formation of a body-axis is central to animal development and involves both polarity and morphology. While polarity is traditionally associated with biochemical patterning, the…
