How does a Wnt cytoneme contact become a productive signalling site? Emma Cooper and colleagues find focal Ca²⁺ transients at cytoneme contacts and link Ca²⁺ availability to contact stability and Wnt/β-catenin signalling. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... #Wnt #Cytonemes #CellBiology

Is there more to defining the eve stripes in the Drosophila embryo than just transcriptional regulation? We provide evidence that spatially regulated mRNA decay is also important.
