On growth and form: a Cartesian coordinate system of Wnt and BMP signaling specifies bilaterian body axes

The regulation of body axis specification in the common ancestor of bilaterians remains controversial. BMP signaling appears to be an ancient program for patterning the secondary, or dorsoventral, body axis, but any such program for the primary, or anteroposterior, body axis is debated. Recent work...
