Developmental signaling: shrimp and strawberries help flies make cones.
EGF receptor and Notch signaling are involved in a wide variety of developmental processes. A new study has revealed a serial linkage between them, via Ebi and Strawberry Notch, which is important in determining the cone cell fate in the Drosophila eye.
