In the development of both the insect tracheal system and vertebrate vasculature, sets of
p
In the Drosophila tracheal system, fusion cells are specified at the distal ends of the tracheal
Ac
branches and act to interconnect independent or distant tracheal tubes (Figure 3D). The
processes underlying fusion are described by Luschnig in this issue and include fusion cell
contact through their dynamic filopodial activity, E-cadherin-mediated adhesion, followed by
cell contraction and apical membrane deposition to form a continuous lumen (Samakovlis et
al., 1996; Lee and Kolodziej, 2002; Gervais et al., 2012). Very similar events occur during
anastomosis (blood vessel fusion) in the vertebrate vasculature (Ellertsdóttir et al., 2010;
Lawson and Weinstein, 2002). Indeed recent real-time in vivo imaging studies in zebrafish
are beginning to elucidate the cellular mechanisms that govern vascular anastomosis (Herwig
et al., 2011).
