Abstract excerpt
We have examined the effects of the insect ecdysteroid, 20-hydroxyecdysone, on the differentiation of neuronal and non-neuronal elements in the developing adult visual system, using in vitro methods in Drosophila. We examined the differentiation of early neuronal markers in the presence and absen...
