Uncovering the Patchwork Pattern of Wnt Ligands and Receptors
Recently, scientists discovered a new way for how cells form patterns in a developing embryo. They found that a patchwork of Wnt ligands and receptors could be the key to understanding how tissue patterning in the developing embryo works. This new discovery could help us understand how certain organs and tissues are formed and regulated in the embryo. This could lead to a better understanding of how congenital diseases and birth defects occur.
