Researchers from King’s College, London, have proven that tiger stripes are formed because of morphogens — a substance secreted by group of cells.
In 1950, Alan Turing, a famous code-breaker and mathematician suggested that repetitive patterns in biological systems were generated by a pair of morphogens that worked together as an activator
and inhibitor

The vessel, containing deep-sea crab and shrimp, will go on show at the Oceanopolis aquarium in Brest, France.
The volume of the box is quite small (16 litres) but researchers believe the technology could eventually be scaled up to house larger animals, such as fish — via redwolf.newsvine.com
