The paper quantifies Dorsal/NF-κB mobility and DNA binding along the dorsal-ventral axis of Drosophila embryos, revealing a gradient in DNA binding that affects gradient formation and downstream gene expression.

The paper examines the dynamics of BMP signaling in Drosophila embryos and finds that target gene activation persists even after the signal is lost, suggesting a memory mechanism.

The paper investigates how the Dorsal morphogen gradient remains robust to variations in maternal dorsal mRNA dosage, identifying three mechanisms that contribute to this robustness.

The paper studies the spatiotemporal behavior of a feedforward loop in morphogen gradients and finds structure-dependent dynamics in gene expression boundaries.
