Differential cell adhesion implemented by Drosophila Toll corrects local distortions of the anterior-posterior compartment boundary

The differential adhesion hypothesis is proposed to play a role during epithelial tissue morphogenesis but it has remained unclear. Here, the authors identify the Toll-1 receptor as a differentially expressed adhesion molecule that maintains lineage restriction boundaries in the Drosophila epidermal...
