The specification of cell fates along the dorsoventral axis of the Drosophila embryo is dependent on the asymmetric distribution of proteins within the egg and within the egg's outer membranes. Such asymmetries arise during oogenesis and are dependent on multiple cell-cell interactions between the developing oocyte and its neighboring somatic follicle cells. The earliest known such interaction involves the...
