Drosophila hedgehog signaling range and robustness depend on direct and sustained heparan sulfate interactions

Morphogens determine cellular differentiation in many developing tissues in a concentration dependent manner. As a central model for gradient formation during animal development, Hedgehog (Hh) morphogens spread away from their source to direct growth and pattern formation in the Drosophila wing disc...
