The choice of cell fate in the epidermis of Drosophila

In Drosophila, neural precursors are formed in a spaced pattern separated by intervening epidermal cells. Segregation of neural and epidermal lineages relies on cellular interactions. Failure of this cell communication, as in the mutants Notch (N), Delta, and shaggy, results in most or all of the ce...
