Receptor binding and tissue architecture explain the morphogen local-to-global mobility transition

The paper shows that tissue architecture and receptor binding can explain the transition from local to global morphogen diffusion, without needing additional regulatory mechanisms.

Midkine and Ptprz1b act upstream of Wnt planar cell polarity to establish a midline in the developing zebrafish hindbrain

The paper shows that Midkine and Ptprz1b regulate Wnt/PCP pathway activity to coordinate midline formation in zebrafish hindbrain development.

Disrupting different Distal-less exons leads to ectopic and missing eyespots accurately modeled by reaction-diffusion mechanisms

The paper shows that mutations in different exons of Distal-less (Dll) cause distinct eyespot phenotypes, which are accurately modeled by reaction-diffusion mechanisms.
