The Hippo signalling pathway regulates the timing of epithelial cell replacement during Drosophila abdominal morphogenesis
ABSTRACT Developmental apoptosis plays an important role in shaping the organs of developing animals, such as occurs during the development of the adult fly abdomen, in which the apoptosis of larval epidermal cells (LECs) is delicately balanced with the proliferation of the presumptive adult epithelial cells. The signa...
