title: Pattern formation: Wingless on the move.
abstract: Wingless is a key morphogen in Drosophila. Although it is evident that Wingless acts at a distance from its site of synthesis, there is considerable debate about how the protein travels across a field of cells. Recent studies have provided important new insights into this process, though the issue is still far from being resolved.
