This lecture covers the diffusion equation and its solutions, focusing on Gaussian solutions with drift terms. It discusses the spatio-temporal profiles of distributions, ecological models with diffusion, and the empirical derivation of the diffusion equation. The lecture also explores the concept of morphogen gradients, active and passive transport mechanisms, and the diffusion of ligands in biological systems.
