Feedback control of organ size precision is mediated by BMP2-regulated apoptosis in the Drosophila eye.
Biological processes are intrinsically noisy, and yet, the result of development-like the species-specific size and shape of organs-is usually remarkably precise. This precision suggests the existence of mechanisms of feedback control that ensure that deviations from a target size are minimized. Sti...
