RPG: Toward a Genetic and Molecular Analysis of 18-Wheeler Function

小行星9408269 摘要 一旦卵细胞分裂，这两个细胞就相互交流。 如果分开，它们将各自分裂成一个完整的有机体，但如果它们保持在一起，每一个都贡献了一半的有机体。 因此，胚胎细胞如何以及如何相互传递信号，对于正常发育至关重要。 埃尔登博士正在利用果蝇（Drosophila melanogaster）的胚胎发育来研究一种可能介导细胞间通讯的蛋白质。 通过这项研究，我们希望了解细胞之间的信号是如何传输和接收的。

9408269 Eldon ABSTRACT Once an egg cell divides, the two cells communicate with each other. If separated they would each divide to make a complete organism, but if they remain together, each contributes to half the organism. How and what embryonic cells signal to each other, then, is critical for normal development. Dr. Eldon is using embryonic development in the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, to study a protein that may mediate communication between cells. From this study we hope to learn how signals between cells are transmitted and received.
