“Continuum Models of Leader-Follower Behavior in Biological Processes Can Be Approximated by Soliton Waves”

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38115402

This study shows that continuum models of leader-follower behavior in biological processes, such as branching morphogenesis and angiogenesis, can be approximated by soliton waves that evolve from vessel to source, revealing common features between discrete and continuum approaches.
