Abstract excerpt
In the midline glia of the embryonic ventral nerve cord of Drosophila, differentiation as well as the subsequent regulation of cell number is under the control of EGF-receptor signaling. During pupal stages apoptosis of all midline glial cells is initiated by ecdysone signaling. In a genetic screen we have identified mutations in disembodied, rippchen, spook, shade, shadow, shroud and tramtrack that all share a...
