#morphogen — Public Fediverse posts

A thoughtful review on how Dpp/BMP functions as a #morphogen in the #Drosophila wing to control growth and patterning. There is still much to learn!

Our paper builds on previous work from our group that

- introduced the 1D morphogen gradient model:

Does self-enhanced #morphogen #degradation improve #patterning #precision in #tissue #development? …

The #positional #error of a #morphogen #gradient significantly decreases as the patterned #tissue widens. It can drop from above one #cell diameter to below half a cell diameter, before saturating at a #tissue width beyond about 10 cells.

How to achieve high #patterning #precision in #development?

#Morphogen gradients are more precise in #2D than in 1D, in particular when #cells are #narrow.

Hi everyone!

The Vincent lab twitter account completes its migration to Mastodon.
Follow us for cool #DevBio science, mostly working with #Drosophila. We are generally interested in the signalling activities that control patterning, growth and apoptosis in epithelia. Our #morphogen of choice is #Wnt.

Here you may also find the occasional rant from JP once he gets used to the new format. Until then, this account is mostly managed by postdoc Ines.
