During embryonic development, the intestine of the Drosophila fly divides into distinct chambers thanks to the formation of constrictions at specific points of the tissue. The Wingless (Wg ...

Get Instant Summarized Text (Gist) The Wingless signaling pathway in Drosophila embryonic development induces calcium entry, altering cell polarity and reorganizing the cytoskeleton. This process ...

Four graphs show the patterns of gene expression at 4 time points during early drosophila embryo development. The spatial distributions of gene expression are represented in line plots for each ...

An understanding of the cell rearrangements that occur during normal embryonic development will uncover general principles ... We have shown that germband extension in Drosophila relies on a conserved ...
