Commissure formation in the embryonic CNS of Drosophila.

Development (Cambridge, England) - 1 Feb 1999

Hummel T, Schimmelpfeng K, Klämbt C

Abstract excerpt

Most of the neurons of the ventral nerve cord send out long projecting axons which cross the midline. In the Drosophila central nervous system (CNS) cells of the midline give rise to neuronal and glial lineages with different functions during the establishment of the commissural pattern. Here we present evidence that beside the previously known NETRIN/FRAZZLED (DCC) signalling system an additional attractive...
