title: Complexity of EGF receptor signalling revealed in Drosophila.
abstract: The multiple roles of the Drosophila epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) require that its activation is regulated precisely. Recent work has highlighted two important control mechanisms: the existence of multiple ligands with distinct properties and the interaction between EGFR pathway and other signalling pathways. The integration of signalling pathways into networks is beginning to be understood.
