The gene expression dynamics of Nanog/Gata6/Fgf are represented by the following non-dimensional stochastic ODE system:
where [Nan]i, [Gat]i, [Fr]i, [Fs]i, and [Erk]i represent secreted Nanog, Gata6, Fgfr2, Fgf4, and Erk in cell i. The perceived Fgf4 from neighboring cells for cell i is described by
where rcontact is a cutoff determining if cells located at ri and rj are neighboring cells, Nj is the number of neighbors of cell j, and γj is a Gaussian noise.
