Epithelium formation in the Drosophila midgut depends on the interaction of endoderm and mesoderm.

Abstract excerpt

The reorganization of mesenchymal cells into an epithelial sheet is a widely used morphogenetic process in metazoans. An example of such a process is the formation of the Drosophila larval midgut epithelium that develops through a mesenchymal-epithelial transition from endodermal midgut precursors. We have studied this process in wild type and a number of mutants that show defects in midgut epithelium formation....
