The chordotonal (scolopidial) organ is a segmental stretch receptor (proprioceptor) and a four-celled organ of the peripheral nervous system of Drosophila. This organ has become a model in studies of embryogenesis involving molecular genetics and developmental biology. We determined how three glial

The three cycles of cell division immediately following the formation of the cellular blastoderm during Drosophila embryogenesis display an invariant pattern('?\*). Bursts of transcription of a gene called string are required and sufficient to trigger mitosis at this time during de~elopment(~). The
Recently, we have characterized glial cultures derived from very early neurogenesis (E3) and found them to consist largely of early glioblastic or astroblastic cells with the capacity to differentiate into astrocytes given sufficient time in culture or with advancing age, i.e., cell passage. This st
shed new light on these questions.
