Winging it--actin on the fly.

Developmental cell - 1 Feb 2002

Baum Buzz

Abstract excerpt

How actin dynamics might be regulated to generate specific cellular structures during development remains something of a mystery. New insights may be gained from the recent identification of a conserved cofilin phosphatase, Slingshot, which modulates actin dynamics to help control Drosophila wing hair morphogenesis.
