title: Pattern formation: the eggshell holds the cue.
abstract: Recent data indicate that Torsolike, a spatial cue for patterning terminal structures of a Drosophila embryo, is stably anchored in the fruitfly eggshell; an as yet unidentified factor is required for the high activity of Torsolike at the embryo termini.
