Direct visualization of a native Wnt in vivo reveals that a long-range Wnt gradient forms by extracellular dispersal
Here, we have generated functional, fluorescently tagged alleles for a C. elegans Wnt homolog and for the first time visualized a native, long-range Wnt gradient in a living animal. Live imaging of ...
