Abstract excerpt
Adhesion of cells to one another and to extracellular matrices has major roles in morphogenetic processes during development. One important family of cell adhesion receptors are the integrins, which in Drosophila have crucial functions in at least two adhesion-mediated developmental events: embryonic muscle attachment and adhesion of the wing epithelia. We have cloned and characterized a gene (struthio) that is...
