    The vertebrate limb bud is a classical model system for developmental biology – with the advantage of having been studied for many decades. Despite this, and despite its relatively simple shape, a consensus model of its physical morphogenesis has not been reached. I will introduce our own hypothesis on limb bud morphogenesis – convergent-extension coupled with tissue growth – and contrast it to previous ideas. I will introduce a 3D dynamical model which captures this hypothesis (a Cellular Potts Model) and also discuss our ongoing improvements to these simulations.
