The research team has shown that a transcriptional co-activator ANGUSTIFOLIA3 (AN3) forms a signaling gradient along the leaf proximal-to-distal axis to determine cell-proliferation domain. In an ...

Biologists have discovered new mechanisms that control how proteins are expressed in different regions of embryos, while also shedding additional insight into how physical traits are arranged in body ...

Morphogens are in the front line just now. Here I trace how the concept of a morphogen has evolved over the past 100 years and step a little beyond what we already know. Earlier views of morphogens ...

Morphogens are signaling molecules that are vital for cell differentiation. These molecules directly influence cell differentiation, inducing specific cellular responses in relation to their ...
