Wiki

A morphogen is a substance governing the pattern of tissue development and, in particular, the positions of the various specialized cell types within a tissue. It spreads from a localized source and forms a concentration gradient across a developing tissue.

In developmental biology a morphogen is rigorously used to mean a signaling molecule that acts directly on cells (not through serial induction) to produce specific cellular responses dependent on morphogen concentration.

Well-known morphogens include: Decapentaplegic / Transforming growth factor beta, Hedgehog / Sonic Hedgehog, Wingless / Wnt, Epidermal growth factor, and Fibroblast growth factor.

Morphogens are defined conceptually, not chemically, so simple chemicals such as retinoic acid may also act as morphogens.

Morpheus Unbound
A year ago, Arthur Lander published a review in Cell entitled “Morpheus Unbound: Reimagining the Morphogen Gradient” (128:245-256; doi:10.1016/j.cell.2007.01.004). It’s an articulate review of morphogen gradients — their formation, function, and regulation. He highlights the history of morphogen study and in so doing paints a picture of both

What Is Antibiotic?
An antibiotic is a drug that kills or slows the growth of bacteria. Antibiotics are one class of "antimicrobials", a larger group which also includes anti-viral, anti-fungal, and anti-parasitic drugs. They are relatively harmless to the host, and therefore can be used to treat infection
