Abstract excerpt
Establishment of morphogen gradients in the early Drosophila embryo is challenged by a diffusible sextracellular milieu, and by rapid nuclear divisions that occur at the same time. To understand how a sharp gradient is formed within this dynamic environment, we followed the generation of graded nuclear Dorsal protein, the hallmark of pattern formation along the dorso-ventral axis, in live embryos. The dynamics...
