Synaptic patterning by morphogen signaling.

Science signaling - 6 May 2008

Williamson W Ryan, Hiesinger P Robin

Abstract excerpt

Gradients of secreted small morphogenic molecules control cell proliferation and patterning throughout animal development. Recent years have seen the discovery of surprising roles for morphogens in later developmental processes, including axon pathfinding and synaptogenesis. The latest addition is a role for the TGF-beta superfamily morphogen Activin in synaptic patterning of the Drosophila visual system. In...
