the proposal that morphogen gradients scale with tissue size because a diffusible expander widens the gradient while the morphogen represses the expander's production.

In developmental biology, expansion-repression model refers to the proposal that morphogen gradients scale with tissue size because a diffusible expander widens the gradient while the morphogen represses the expander's production. This meaning comes from Ben-Zvi (2010) in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.[1]
