Let there be order.
The Ringberg Colloquium on Self-Organization and Morphogenesis in Biological Systems took place between December 3-6, 2006 in a castle near Munich, Germany. Researchers from different areas of cell and developmental biology exchanged ideas about how biological systems are organized and dynamic at the same time. A dominant theme was that local interactions between molecules or cells can generate global order.
