Abstract excerpt
The formation of the dorsal vessel or heart in a Drosophila melanogaster embryo can be divided into three main steps: i) the determination step allows individualization of heart precursor cells from the dorsal mesoderm. They are arranged in clusters of seven to nine cells, located in each of the...
