A review on modelling to explain cellular asymmetries

In order to regulate various cellular functions and to specify cell fate, cells must achieve highly ordered molecular patterns. In the Caenorhabditis elegans one-cell embryo, protein asymmetries are established in the narrow time window of a cell division, thus challenging our understanding of the underlying mechanisms.
