Pathfinding analysis in a glia-less gcm mutant in Drosophila.

Abstract excerpt

Many lines of evidence suggest that glial cells function as guide post cells for axonal pathfinding. However, due to the difficulty in completely eliminating glial cells during development, their functions in axonal pathfinding have not been critically evaluated. In Drosophila gcm mutant embryos, glial cells were genetically eliminated providing us with a unique opportunity to investigate glial functions in...
