More on the molecular biology of Morphogens are required. SteveD 31st May 2008.

Recent morphogen research challenges the textbook view

There has been a lot of recent work on morphogens that substantially challenges or revises the traditional view of factors such as Bicoid. The April, 2012 Cell commentary by Roth and Lynch provides an overview of these advances ([1]). SpectraValor (talk) 14:10, 27 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This topic is in need of attention from an expert on the subject.

The section or sections that need attention may be noted in a message below.

Indeed the article urgently needs updating by an expert on the subject. Science has clearly moved on, as have our referencing standards. This article is an embarrassment. Which sections? Most of it. Chiswick Chap (talk) 08:24, 3 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

There is an entire field of work in embryogenesis based on other models such as those based on mechanics that disputes the whole morphogen idea. The article should not just be made neutral (which I have tried to do) but should have some references to other alternative models. Bjorklund21 (talk) 15:22, 20 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Okay on review I like the review so I am removing my initial comment.
