This study shows that complete inactivation of the bicoid gene in Drosophila affects egg geometry, revealing an additional role beyond its known morphogen function.

The paper quantifies the early dynamics of bcd mRNA and Staufen protein in Drosophila embryos, revealing coordinated redistribution patterns and key developmental stages.

This study characterizes Drosophila Ndg mutants, showing loss of Ndg impairs basement membrane stability, permeability, and nervous system function.
