Scaling of the Bicoid morphogen gradient: the effect of state dependent diffusion

This study proposes a model of spatially varying diffusion to explain how the Bicoid gradient scales with embryo size in Drosophila, showing that gradient scaling arises from spatial heterogeneity rather than nuclear trapping.
