Conserved Chamber-Specific Polyploidy Maintains Heart Function in <i>Drosophila</i>
2023-02-12
Abstract excerpt
<h4>SUMMARY</h4> Developmentally programmed polyploidy (whole-genome-duplication) of cardiomyocytes is common across evolution. Functions of such polyploidy are essentially unknown. Here, we reveal roles for precise polyploidy levels in cardiac tissue. We highlight a conserved asymmetry in polyploidy level between cardiac chambers in Drosophila larvae and humans. In Drosophila , differential Insulin Receptor (I...
