Coordinating development: uncovering the mechanisms that coordinate organ growth and patterning with the development of the whole body

Organisms produce correctly patterned structures across a wide range of organ and body sizes. Despite considerable work revealing the mechanisms that regulate the growth and patterning of organs, those responsible for coordinating organ development with whole-body development are still largely unknown.(...)
