Cytonemes coordinate asymmetric signaling and organization in the Drosophila muscle progenitor niche

Akshay Patel, Yicong Wu, Xiaofei Han, Yijun P. Su, Tim K. Maugel, Hari Shroff, Sougata Roy

The paper shows that cytonemes mediate asymmetric signaling and organization in Drosophila muscle progenitor niches by facilitating FGF receptor localization and contact-dependent signaling.
