Muscle-dependent maturation of tendon cells is induced by post-transcriptional regulation of stripeA.

Abstract excerpt

Terminal differentiation of single cells selected from a group of equivalent precursors may be random, or may be regulated by external signals. In the Drosophila embryo, maturation of a single tendon cell from a field of competent precursors is triggered by muscle-dependent signaling. The transcription factor Stripe was reported to induce both the precursor cell phenotype, as well as the terminal differentiation...
