Development: Scaling to Size by Protease Inhibition

Abstract

The dorsal half of bisected Xenopus laevis embryos can regenerate a well-proportioned organism on a smaller scale. A new study indicates that the removal of ventral tissue generates a steeper Chordin gradient by reducing Sizzled, a secreted inhibitor of Tolloid chordinases.
