Live imaging of wound inflammation in <i>Drosophila</i> embryos reveals key roles for small GTPases during in vivo cell migration

Abstract excerpt

Aa robust inflammatory response to tissue damage and infection is conserved across almost all animal phyla. Neutrophils and macrophages, or their equivalents, are drawn to the wound site where they engulf cell and matrix debris and release signals that direct components of the repair process. This orchestrated cell migration is clinically important, and yet, to date, leukocyte chemotaxis has largely been studied...
