The paper identifies three fundamental classes of gene network topologies that can lead to pattern formation through extracellular signaling in multicellular systems.

This study investigates how BMP signaling is refined during pattern formation in Drosophila by showing that cell shape changes enable competition for the signal through a mechano-chemical feedback loop.

The paper investigates how gene networks, extracellular signaling, and cell behaviors coordinate to produce complex and robust morphologies, finding that signaling and complex networks enhance robustness against noise.

The paper quantifies morphological variation in Drosophila wing development across stages and links early morphology to adult traits.
