    GlossaryMorphogen

    signaling molecule guiding tissue development based on concentration gradient

    A morphogen is a type of signaling molecule that governs the pattern of tissue development in the process of morphogenesis, and it helps cells determine their fate based on its concentration gradient. Essentially, morphogens provide positional information to cells, guiding them to form specific structures or tissues during embryonic development.
