FIGURE 4-7Planar Cell Polarity in Drosophila Wing Development

A close-up view of a fly wing (A) reveals an ordered array of distally pointing short “hairs”; (B) An array of actin bundles (orange) forming the prehairs emanates from the distal edge of each cell during the early pupal stage of wing development. Polarization of actin prehairs depends on intercellular interactions that involve the formation of asymmetric ligand-receptor complexes bridging neighboring cells. (C) Mutants defective in certain genes (in this case, a gene called Fat) show a swirling pattern of prehairs (red), which, while losing global orientation, retain local alignment. This behavior strongly suggests an analogy with ferromagnetism, which also involves formation of a globally ordered magnetization under the action of short-range interactions. We thus have a striking illustration of how physics ideas can be relevant to biological phenomena far removed from their original physical context.
