Dpp signaling activity requires Pentagone to scale with tissue size in the growing Drosophila wing imaginal disc.
The wing of the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, with its simple, two-dimensional structure, is a model organ well suited for a systems biology approach. The wing arises from an epithelial sac referred to as the wing imaginal disc, which undergoes a phase of massive growth and concomitant pattern...
