Size precision in insect eyes

The building of fully functional and well-proportioned individuals relies on the precise regulation of the size of each of their constituting organs. A new study unravels a mechanism that confers precision to size regulation of the adult Drosophila eye through morphogen-mediated modulation of cell s...

Sumario:The building of fully functional and well-proportioned individuals relies on the precise regulation of the size of each of their constituting organs. A new study unravels a mechanism that confers precision to size regulation of the adult Drosophila eye through morphogen-mediated modulation of cell survival.Copyright: © 2024 Marco Milán.
