Abstract excerpt
During development of multicellular organisms, cells are often eliminated by apoptosis if they fail to receive appropriate signals from their surroundings. Here, we report on short-range cell interactions that support cell survival in the Drosophila wing imaginal disc. We present evidence showing that cells incorrectly specified for their position undergo apoptosis because they fail to express specific proteins...
