Peripodial cells regulate proliferation and patterning of Drosophila imaginal discs

Article Abstract:

Research reveals that squamous epithelium peripodial membrane covers columnar cell monolayers of imaginal discs and are involved in cell signaling that leads to growth and pattern formation in the eye and wing primordia of Drosophila.

A transient cell cycle shift in Drosophila imaginal disc cells precedes multipotency

Article Abstract:

A system is developed by which individual cells are marked and monitored in vivo as they transdetermine so that their proliferation, cell sizes, and differentiation are accurately traced. A unique cell cycle progression and a big cell size that conditions the cells for developmental plasticity is proposed.
