Dynamic Filopodia Transmit Intermittent Delta-Notch Signaling to Drive Pattern Refinement during Lateral Inhibition
This highly cited research builds a picture of how the dynamic behaviour of individual cells contributes to tissue form and function in normal development and cancer progression. It is shown that conventional models of signalling cannot account for the pattern formation in the fly notum. It challenges many pre-conceived notions in the field, and has therefore been widely cited for its importance and novelty (reviewed in Current Biology, Nature Reviews, Molecular Cell Biology, the Scientist, and Faculty of 1000). The work led to the award of BBSRC DTC King’s studentship to study the contact inhibition in developing embryos.
