During organogenesis different cells must recognize and adhere to each other in a complicated orchestration of cell movements that requires intricate regulation of cell adhesions. A Maf transcription factor, Traffic jam, has been found to regulate a panel of cell adhesion molecules, and the interactions between germ cells and somatic cells to shape the mature gonad.
