MANF silencing, immunity induction or autophagy trigger an unusual cell type in metamorphosing Drosophila brain
15 Dec 2014
Abstract excerpt
Glia are abundant cells in the brain of animals ranging from flies to humans. They perform conserved functions not only in neural development and wiring, but also in brain homeostasis. Here we show that by manipulating gene expression in glia, a previously unidentified cell type appears in the Drosophila brain during metamorphosis. More specifically, this cell type appears in three contexts: (1) after the...
