Hedgehog morphogen gradient is robust towards variations in tissue morphology in Drosophila
Abstract During tissue development, gradients of secreted signaling molecules known as morphogens provide cells with positional information. The mechanisms underlying morphogen spreading have been widely studied, however, it remains largely unexplored whether the shape of morphogen gradients is infl...
