Compensatory growth in novel Drosophila Akt1 mutants.

BMC research notes - 11 Mar 2015

Slade Jennifer D, Staveley Brian E

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Organisms, tissues and cells are genetically programmed to grow to a specific largely pre-set size and shape within the appropriate developmental timing. In the event of mutation, cell death, or tissue damage, the remaining cells may increase their rate of growth to compensate and generate an intact, potentially smaller, tissue or organism in order to achieve the desired size. A delay in the...
