Congratulations to Nate and Adam as their new paper is up on the BioRxiv!
How morphogen signaling gradients are established is incompletely explained yet crucial for our understanding of how organisms develop into precisely formed animals. Nate and Adam have investigated the role of Nodal co-receptor Oep and find that it is important for generating correct Nodal signaling patterns by restricting ligand spread and sensitizing cells.
