The formation of self-organized patterns is key to the morphogenesis of multicellular organisms, although a comprehensive theory of biological pattern formation is still lacking. Here, we propose a biologically realistic and unifying approach to emergent pattern formation. Our biphasic model of multicellular tissues incorporates turnover and transport of morphogens controlling cell differentiation and tissue mechanics in a single framework, where one tissue phase consists of a poroelastic network made of cells and the other is the extracellular fluid permeating between cells. While this model encompasses previous theories approximating tissues to inert monophasic media, such as Turing’s reaction-diffusion model, it overcomes some of their k...
