Abstract excerpt
In Drosophila melanogaster larval epithelial tissues, cells containing mutations in the apico-basal polarity protein, Scrib, are eliminated by cell competition when surrounded by wild-type cells. In scrib mutant cells, signaling mediated by the receptor-type tyrosine phosphatase Ptp10D upon engagement with its ligand Sas in the surrounding wild-type cells triggers cell competition via EGFR-Ras pathway inhibition...
