Sonic hedgehog and Wnt: antagonists in morphogenesis but collaborators in axon guidance
As indicated by their name, morphogens were first identified for their role in the formation of tissues early in development. Secreted from a source, they spread through the tissue to form gradients by which they affect the differentiation of precursor cells in a concentration-dependent manner. In t...
