Abstract
In the Drosophila central nervous system (CNS) about 10%, of the cells are of glial nature. A set of molecular markers has allowed unraveling a number of genes controlling glial cell fate determination as: well as genes requi red for glial cell differentiation. Here we focus on the embryonic CNS glia and review the recent progress in the field. (C) 2001 ISDN. Published by E lsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
