Asymmetric requirement of Dpp/BMP morphogen dispersal in the Drosophila wing disc
Morphogens disperse to pattern tissues and control their growth during development, allowing for the specification of multiple fates across space. Here the authors block dispersal of a morphogen Dpp (BMP2/4) and show that the requirement for Dpp dispersal is much lower than previously thought.
