Calcium transport mechanism in wingless signaling pathway reshapes understanding of embryonic development

During embryonic development, the intestine of the Drosophila fly divides into distinct chambers thanks to the formation of constrictions at specific points of the tissue. The Wingless (Wg) signaling pathway is known to be responsible for one of these constrictions, but until now the underlying mechanism regulating this was not known.
