Developmental biology: Boundary lines
Seth S. Blair1
Abstract
Embryonic development is a complicated business, as a recent meeting bore witness. The signals generated at the boundaries between compartments were a key topic of discussion.
During development, multicellular organisms generate a complex and precisely patterned set of tissues from much simpler precursors. The mechanisms that accomplish this feat are diverse and, in many cases, still unknown.
