Abstract excerpt

Drosophila neurosensory bristle development provides an excellent model system to study the role of the actin-based cytoskeleton in polarized cell growth. We used confocal fluorescence microscopy of isolated thoracic tissue to characterize changes in F-actin that occurred during macrochaete devel...
