Read the article, saw no mention of DeLaunay or Voronoi ! How can that have been overlooked?

Relation to Voronoi is discussed in the original paper: http://www.pnas.org/content/early/2018/09/11/1721248115

Probably because it's not relevant to the actual methods used. It sounds more like a reaction-diffusion system. The veins have curved edges. The resemblance to voronoi diagrams et al might not be much more than cosmetic.
