Furthermore, in the wing imaginal disc, planar extensions called cytonemes arise from the periphery of the epithelium and grow towards a central area in the wing disc that produces the signalling molecule Decapentaplegic.
In contrast, Brn3c is barely expressed during embryogenesis in the CNS [ 22 ] thus arguing that the survival of ear primary neurons depends crucially on the periphery.
Any single photoreceptor might respond equally to a medium intensity light in the wavelength range of its peak sensitivity, and to a strong intensity light at the periphery of its sensitive range—hence it cannot disentangle wavelength from intensity [5].
Since adenocarcinomas predominantly arise in the periphery of the lung and less frequently in the larger and more easily accessible airways, the utility of assessing morphological, molecular, and proliferative changes in these larger airways may be called into question.
We previously employed luc reporting to study the effects of a cryptochrome mutation ( cry b ), concentrating on clock gene expression in isolated antennal pairs from Drosophila [ 23 ] . Earlier studies established that cry encodes a 'deep-brain' element of the photoreceptive pathway to the circadian clock [ 24 25 26 ] . But our study suggested a different role for cry in the periphery, because antennal rhythmicity in mutant specimens was dramatically reduced in constant darkness [ 23 ] , an effect that is not consistent with the idea that the encoded protein (CRY) functions solely as a photoreceptor for the circadian system [ 24 25 ] .
