Diversification of messenger and receptor molecules is the result of e volution; however, the principles of intercellular signaling mechanism s are very similar in all metazoans. Recent discoveries of insect pept ides provide new leads for applications in medicine and agriculture. ( C) 1997, Elsevier Science Inc.
