Polyploidy-associated autophagy promotes larval tracheal histolysis at Drosophila metamorphosis
9 Jul 2023
Abstract excerpt
Polyploidy is an extended phenomenon in biology. However, its physiological significance and whether it defines specific cell behaviors is not well understood. Here we study its connection to macroautophagy/autophagy, using the larval respiratory system of Drosophila as a model. This system comprises cells with the same function yet with notably different ploidy status, namely diploid progenitors and their...
