Bronze Age genomes reveal migration to Britain
Nature, Published online: 22 December 2021; doi:10.1038/d41586-021-03770-2 The genomes of hundreds of individuals who lived in Great Britain and in continental Europe during the Bronze Age provide evidence for a…
Morphogen gradient scaling by recycling of intracellular Dpp – Nature
Morphogen gradients are fundamental to establish morphological patterns in developing tissues1. During development, gradients scale to remain proportional to the size of growing organs2,3. Scaling is a universal gear adjusting…
