The paper identifies a genetic circuit in Drosophila that enhances BMP signaling at the distal end of the gradient, enabling insect wing development.

The paper investigates how signalling networks and tissue flows interact during vein refinement in Drosophila pupal wings, showing that cell fate adjustments, not large-scale flows, drive precise patterning.

The paper shows that embryonic geometry, not genetics, drives phenotypic variation in decanalized Drosophila embryos by shifting segmentation gene boundaries based on embryonic length.

The paper investigates how the morphogen Bicoid's temporal exposure affects cell fate decisions in Drosophila embryos using optogenetic manipulation.
