title: EGF receptor signaling: putting a new spin on eye development.
abstract: The coordinated polarization of cells within an epithelium is required for the development and function of some tissues. Recent work has shown that the EGF receptor signaling pathway plays a key role in establishing epithelial polarity in the compound eye of Drosophila.
