Abstract excerpt
In vertebrates, different Wnt-signaling pathways are required in a temporally coordinated manner to promote cardiogenesis. In Drosophila, wingless holds an essential role in heart development. Among the known Drosophila Wnts is DWnt4, the function of which has been studied in various developmental processes except for heart development. We re-evaluated the expression pattern of DWnt4 during embryogenesis and show...
