Distinguishing graded and ultrasensitive signalling cascade kinetics by the shape of morphogen gradients in Drosophila.

Recently, signalling gradients in cascades of two-state reaction-diffusion systems were described as a model for understanding key biochemical mechanisms that underlie development and differentiation processes in the Drosophila embryo. Diffusion-trapping at the exterior of the cell membrane triggers...
