Development: scaling to size by protease inhibition.



???displayArticle.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.
