Abstract: Fruit fly bristles have us tearing out our few remaining hairs. The puzzle is, in forming long bristles, how and why do flies assemble long actin bundles by gluing shorter bundles end-to-end? Fruit fly bristles extend posteriorly in a gentle curve over the fly's back like the hair on a well-groomed
