Cell polarisation in a bulk-surface model can be driven by both classic and non-classic Turing instability

Abstract The GTPase Cdc42 is the master regulator of eukaryotic cell polarisation. During this process, the active form of Cdc42 is accumulated at a particular site on the cell membrane called the pole. It is believed that the accumulation of the active Cdc42 resulting in a pole is driven by a combi...
