Motoneuron-derived Activinβ regulates Drosophila body size and tissue-scaling during larval growth and adult development

2019-06-05

Abstract excerpt

Correct scaling of body and organ size is crucial for proper development and survival of all organisms. Perturbations in circulating hormones, including insulins and steroids, are largely responsible for changing body size in response to both genetic and environmental factors. Such perturbations typically produce adults whose organs and appendages scale proportionately with final size. The identity of additional f...
