Sifting mitosis, cell fate in fly eyes

Article Abstract:

Developmental geneticists Iswar Hariharan and Joriene de Nooij have determined that the second episode of mitosis proceeding development of the compound fruit fly eye is not required for cell specialization. The mitosis generates cells that can be recruited for specialization.

Receptor for vital protein finally found

Article Abstract:

Researchers have identified a receptor for the fruit fly protein Wingless, a member of the Wnt family. The discovery of the new protein, called Drosophila frizzled 2, could be important in understanding regulation of development.
