Cell interactions in invertebrate development.
By utilizing both genetics and physical manipulations, studies on invertebrate embryos have provided substantial information on how cell interactions influence cell fate during development. The picture emerging from these studies suggest that while there may be varied and intricate patterns of cell interactions during the development of different embryos, the signaling molecules that convey positional information across cell membranes have been highly conserved.
