Pattern formation of scale cells in Lepidoptera by differential origin-dependent cell adhesion
We present a model for the formation of parallel rows of scale cells in the developing adult wing of moths and butterflies. Precursors of scale cells differentiate throughout each epithelial monolayer and migrate into rows that are roughly parallel to the body axis. Grafting experiments have reveale...
