Intrinsic and extrinsic signals in the developing vertebrate and fly eyes: viewing vertebrate and invertebrate eyes in the same light.

Abstract excerpt

The development of complex tissues, such as the nervous system, requires coordinated interactions between cells, and defining the molecular basis of these interactions is a primary goal of developmental neurobiology. Classic experimental embryological studies of the developmental potential of embryonic neural tissues have more recently been augmented by genetic and molecular approaches to yield a picture of the...
