The paper shows that Hh signaling provides robustness to some target genes but not others, revealing tradeoffs between robustness and precision in morphogen gradient patterning.

The paper develops a mathematical model to show that cell recruitment compensates for variations in cell proliferation rates, ensuring robust wing size in Drosophila.

MAPPER identifies differential regulation of Drosophila wing features through automated image analysis, revealing scaling patterns and the role of Piezo in bilateral symmetry.

This study shows cell recruitment drives Vg pattern overscaling in Drosophila wing development, leading to wing size reduction when recruitment is impaired.
