Drosophila Toll-2 controls homeotic domain formation and timing of folding

Lale Alpar, Rémi Pigache, Adrien Leroy, Mehdi Ech-Chouini, Stéphane Pelletier, Yohanns Bellaı̈che

This study shows Toll-2 controls homeotic compartment formation and timing of neck morphogenesis in Drosophila by regulating apoptosis and cell rearrangements through PI3K and Src signaling.
