The paper develops a theoretical framework showing gene regulatory networks (GRNs) enable pattern scaling during tissue growth without relying on morphogen scaling.

The paper shows that meiotic cohesin Rec8 in fission yeast gametes creates a fitness trade-off, leading to parental bias in gene expression.

The paper introduces a new expander feedback mechanism that supports morphogen gradient scaling with both uniform and position-dependent expander concentrations, showing enhanced scaling and robustness across tissues.

The paper shows how tissue rigidity phase transitions and Nodal morphogen gradients interact to drive patterning dynamics in zebrafish.

The paper shows how glial cells integrate morphogen and juxtacrine signaling to enable precise cell fate patterning in Drosophila lamina with single-cell resolution.

This study investigates how gene network architecture, mutation, and selection influence the evolvability and predictability of spatial gene expression patterns through de novo evolution of a stripe phenotype.

This study identifies transient basal protrusions in zebrafish spinal neurons that regulate spatiotemporal differentiation patterns through lateral inhibition.
