Inducing concentric worm holes
Article Abstract:
The anchor-cell signalling molecule has been found to induce vulval development in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans; this molecule belongs to the epidermal growth factor (EGF) type of growth factors. Russell J. Hill and Paul W. Sternberg also suggest that lin-3 gene mutations create the anchor-cell signals in animals with vulval precursor cell lineage defects. The anchor-cell signalling cells are linked to the gonadal cells that trigger vulval development.

Control by combinatorial codes
Article Abstract:
Three new studies provide evidence that gene enhancer regions have a computational role in calculating cell fate, dependent on the accumulated effects of several signalling pathways.
