Abstract excerpt
A culture system of "giant" Drosophila neurons derived from cytokinesis-arrested embryonic neuroblasts was developed to overcome the technical difficulties usually encountered in studying small Drosophila neurons. Cytochalasin B-treated neuroblasts differentiated into giant multinucleated cells that displayed neuronal morphology and neuron-specific markers (Wu et al., 1990). Here, we report that these giant...
