The Drosophila tracheal system is a branched tubular structure that supplies air to target tissues. The elaborate tracheal morphology is shaped by two linked inductive processes, one involving the choice of cell fates, and the other a guided cell migration. We will describe the molecular basis for t
## Abstract Many __Drosophila__ genes have now been identified with substantial sequence similarity to vertebrate protooncogenes and growth factors. Some of these have been isolated directly by crossβhybridization with vertebrate probes and some have been recognized in the sequences of genes cloned
Exoskeletons stabilize cell, tissue, and body morphology in many living organisms including fungi, plants, and arthropods. In insects, the exoskeleton, the cuticle, is produced by epidermal cells as a protein extracellular matrix containing lipids and the polysaccharide chitin, and its formation req
