The mechanisms that govern cell interactions during organ formation are not fully understood. In this issue of Developmental Cell, Miao et al. demonstrate a channel-independent role for gap junction proteins in the establishment of contacts between three cell types that build up the micropyle during oocyte development in Drosophila.

建立关系：Innexins在组织形成中的作用。

器官形成过程中控制细胞相互作用的机制尚未完全了解。在本期《发育细胞》中， Miao等人。证明了间隙连接蛋白在果蝇卵母细胞发育过程中建立起micropyle的三种细胞类型之间的接触建立中通道无关的作用。
