Abstract
Wingless is a key morphogen in Drosophila. Although it is evident that Wing less acts at a distance from its site of synthesis, there is considerable d ebate about how the protein travels across a field of cells. Recent studies have provided important new insights into this process, though the issue i s still far from being resolved. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
