The eye-antennal disc of Drosophila is composed of three cell layers: a columnar epithelium
called the disc proper (DP); an overlying sheet of squamous cells called the peripodial …

Recent analyses have shed light on the roles of genes involved in early events of eye cell
determination and the spatiotemporal control of differentiation within the eye field. These …

During animal development, accurate control of tissue specification and growth are critical to
generate organisms of reproducible shape and size. The eye-antennal disc epithelium of …

Neural specification and differentiation in the Drosophila eye sweep across the unpatterned
epithelial monolayer of the eye imaginal disc following a developmental wave termed the …

The Drosophila eye is one of nature's most beautiful structures and one of its most useful. It
has emerged as a favored model for understanding the processes that direct cell fate …

The Drosophila signaling factor decapentaplegic (dpp) mediates the effects of hedgehog
(hh) in tissue patterning by regulating the expression of tissue-specific genes. In the eye …

During Drosophila eye development, cell differentiation is preceded by the formation of a
morphogenetic furrow, which progresses across the epithelium from posterior to anterior …

Cells within developing metazoa are directed to particular pathways of differentiation which
lead to the highly ordered tissue constitution of the adult. Two mechanisms, different in …

The Drosophila eye field that gives rise to the visual system and dorsal head epidermis
forms an unpaired anlage located in the dorsal head ectoderm. The eye field expresses and …

The eye‐antennal imaginal disc of Drosophila melanogaster has often been described as
an epithelial monolayer with complex signaling events playing out in two dimensions …
