During embryo development, patterns of protein concentration appear in response to morphogen gradients. These patterns provide spatial and chemical information that directs the fate of the underlying ...
As the gradient decays, the position of this threshold value moves at varying speed along the membrane, depending on the cell shape. Thus, via this hierarchy of protein concentration profiles, the ...
New work describes vital aspects of diffusion processes in tissue development, including the roles that molecular diffusion gradients have on stem cell signaling pathways along with new modeling tools ...
