Researchers demonstrate that maternal nutrient sensing influences growth dynamics in the next generation, indicating a crucial biological mechanism.
How animals allocate resources between growth, maintenance, and reproduction is a fundamental question. In this issue of PLOS Biology, Pradhan and colleagues show that maternal nutrient sensing regulates ribosome deposition into embryos, shaping the early growth dynamics in the next generation.
