Cell-biology effective interpretation of the Ising model describing skin color patterning by Muhamet Ibrahimi, Szabolcs Zakany, Michel C. Milinkovitch

“…Second, we show that the Lenz-Ising model parameters acquire an effective interpretation, in terms of cell interactions, by observing how these parameters change when tuning the reaction-diffusion parameters optimized for each species studied here. Taken together, our findings establish quantitative links between the strength and length scales of microscopic interactions among colored cells, and the scale-by-scale lizard skin color patterns visible to the naked eye.…”
