Development. 2007 Feb; 134(3) Cover picture Cover: In situ hybridization of the vegetal region of an 8-cell stage Xenopus laevis embryo using a probe for Wnt11 mRNA, showing that Wnt11 mRNA is localized in  dorsal vegetal blastomeres. Depletion of Wnt11, or of its receptor LRP6, leads to loss of formation. (In situ by Stephanie Lang.)
