The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Spatial components of molecular tissue biology (2022, neutral): “Metabolic and morphogenetic gradients 48–50 convey information about and arise from developmental processes as well as environmental differences, such as oxygen or nutrient availability, hormone concentration, metabolite concentration or physical stress 49 .”
Symmetry, Thermodynamics, and Topology in Active Matter (2021, background): “A successful paradigm in development is provided by the notion that spatial and temporal concentration patterns of diffusable chemicals known as morphogens specify the organization of cells into emergent structures [113, 114, 204].”
