Organogenesis relies on specific genetic and molecular programmes, which orchestrate
growth and cellular differentiation over developmental time. This is particularly important …

Damage in the nervous system induces a stereotypical response that is mediated by glial
cells. Here, we use the eye disc of Drosophila melanogaster as a model to explore the …

The establishment of the functional nervous system requires coordinated development of
neurons and glia in the embryo. Our understanding of underlying molecular and cellular …

Intracellular trafficking underlies cellular functions ranging from membrane remodeling to
receptor activation. During multicellular organ development, these basic cell biological …

The retinal basal glia (RBG) is a group of glia that migrates from the optic stalk into the third
instar larval eye disc while the photoreceptor cells (PR) are differentiating. The RBGs are …

Cell migration is a key mechanism during neural development, as it allows cells to reach
their final destination from their birthplace. In some cases, cells migrate in isolation, whereas …

The establishment of neuronal circuits during embryonic development requires the
coordinated development of neurons and glia. Although studies in the past two decades …

Damage in the nervous system induces a stereotypical response that is mediated by glial
cells. Here, we use the eye disc to explore the mechanisms involved in promoting glial cell …

The complex architecture of the nervous system is the result of a stereotyped pattern of
proliferation and migration of neural progenitors in the early embryo, followed by the …

Coordinated development of neurons and glia is essential for the establishment of neuronal
circuits during embryonic development. In the developing Drosophila visual system …
