Primary spongiosa architecture produced by the interaction of VEGF and MMP13 by means of a reaction-diffusion mechanism. (a) Architecture generated by the use of a wave mode (2,2,2). (b) Architecture generated by the use of a wave mode (4,2,2). The blue areas represent ossified cartilage, and the red areas represent unossified cartilage.
