Hexagonal packing of Drosophila wing epithelial cells by the planar cell polarity pathway.

Developmental cell - 1 Dec 2005

Classen Anne-Kathrin, Anderson Kurt I, Marois Eric, Eaton Suzanne

Abstract excerpt

The mechanisms that order cellular packing geometry are critical for the functioning of many tissues, but they are poorly understood. Here, we investigate this problem in the developing wing of Drosophila. The surface of the wing is decorated by hexagonally packed hairs that are uniformly oriented by the planar cell polarity pathway. They are constructed by a hexagonal array of wing epithelial cells. Wing...
