Abstract

During the development of multicellular organisms, cells interact extensively in order to generate tissues and organs at a defined time in the appropriate place. In the past 20 years, numerous cell—cell signaling systems have been identified and characterized. It has become a general rule that a given signaling system is used repetitively during development, in the same, as well as in different, cellular contexts. However, the cellular response to the signal varies in most cases and appears to rely upon the developmental history of the responding cell.
