Engulfing action of glial cells is required for programmed axon pruning during Drosophila metamorphosis.

Current biology : CB - 20 Apr 2004

Awasaki Takeshi, Ito Kei

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Axon pruning is involved in establishment and maintenance of functional neural circuits. During metamorphosis of Drosophila, selective pruning of larval axons is developmentally regulated by ecdysone and caused by local axon degeneration. Previous studies have revealed intrinsic molec...
