Abstract excerpt
Almost all epidermal cells on the Drosophila wing produce a single cuticular hair. This is formed in the pupae from a microvillus-like cell projection called the prehair.

One is the restriction of prehair initiation to a small subregion of the cell by the action of the frizzled tissue polarity pathway. The...
