Developmental biology: Morphogens hitch a greasy ride
Richard S. Mann1 & Joaquim Culi2
Abstract
Morphogen proteins guide the development of many tissues in animals, but how are these insoluble proteins ferried around the body? A well-known group of lipid transporters might be the answer.
Every once in a while, a scientific discovery results in the marriage of two previously disparate fields. On page 58 of this issue, such a romance is suggested by Eaton and colleagues1.
