摘要：

Activin has long-range effects in Xenopus development, inducing the mesodermally expressed brachyury gene up to 10 cell diameters from a localised source. Recent experiments show that activin diffuses through tissues to establish a morphogen gradient, and that the long-range effects are a direct result of activin signalling.
