PresentationsMaintenance of spatial distribution of statistical entropy in the epidermisFederal Research Center “Computer Science and Control” of Russian Academy of Sciences 1Engelhardt Institute of Molecular Biology of RussianAcademy of Sciences Multilayered tissues such as the epidermis maintain order through a spatial gradient of cellular differentiation, which provides both structural and functional organization. This structural order implies a steady-state, nonequilibrium process associated with entropy change. We propose a discrete one-dimensional model combining thermodynamic and kinetic equations to describe the multilayered organization of tissue.
