Two proteins play a key role in the development of flight muscles and their tendons in fruit flies, two RIKEN developmental biologists have shown
1. Their study reveals how the components of the muscle-tendon system develop in sync with each other, thereby avoiding catastrophic results.
During the development of an animal, its cells construct non-cellular structures outside of themselves called the extracellular matrix-a complex mesh of proteins and polysaccharides that provides physical scaffolding for cells and also helps regulate cell growth and differentiation.
