A discrete model of Drosophila eggshell patterning reveals cell-autonomous and juxtacrine effects.

PLoS computational biology - 1 Mar 2014

Abstract excerpt

The Drosophila eggshell constitutes a remarkable system for the study of epithelial patterning, both experimentally and through computational modeling. Dorsal eggshell appendages arise from specific regions in the anterior follicular epithelium that covers the oocyte: two groups of cells expressing broad (roof cells) bordered by rhomboid expressing cells (floor cells). Despite the large number of genes known to...
