The formation of complex structures in any multicellular organism requires cooperative behaviour within cell populations. Genetic and molecular analysis of pattern formation in the Drosophila embryo is providing us with new insights into the cellular basis of this process, implicating a diversity of molecules, some familiar, others novel, in intercellular communication.
在任何多细胞生物体中，复杂结构的形成都需要细胞群体内的协同行为。对果蝇胚胎模式形成的遗传和分子分析，正在为我们提供关于这一过程细胞基础的新见解，表明多种分子参与细胞间通讯，其中一些分子我们较为熟悉，另一些则是新发现的。
