Cell interactions and gene interactions in peripheral neurogenesis

In this review we will concentrate on the early part of the process-the singling out of the precursor cells-using the sensory bristles of the adult Drosophila as a model system. We will discuss how independent developmental units are transiently established for the determination of each bristle and...

Description
Summary:In this review we will concentrate on the early part of the process-the singling out of the precursor cells-using the sensory bristles of the adult Drosophila as a model system. We will discuss how independent developmental units are transiently established for the determination of each bristle and how the three sets of genes that are involved in this process work in concert to single out the precursor cells.
