Aging and its relation to cell growth and differentiation in Drosophila imaginal discs: developmental response to growth restricting conditions.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The development of Drosophila organ discs can be arrested by culturing them in adult male flies. These aged discs lose some of their differentiation competence and form incomplete imaginal structures. The more advanced the aging, the greater the loss of competence. Discs made to differentiate prematurely show deficiencies similar to aged discs. The age-induced defects can be repaired in a larval milieu. Special hormonal conditions, but not cell multiplication, are apparently involved in the recovery process.

Innate immune cells are dispensable for regenerative growth of imaginal discs
Following tissue damage the immune response, including inflammation, has been considered an inevitable condition to build the host defense against invading pathogens. The recruitment of innate immune leukocytes to injured tissue is observed in both vertebrates and invertebrates. However, it is still not conclusive whether the inflammatory response is also indispensable for the wound healing pro...
متن کاملRetinoids Regulate a Developmental Checkpoint for Tissue Regeneration in Drosophila
Damage to Drosophila imaginal discs elicits a robust regenerative response from the surviving tissue [1-4]. However, as in other organisms, developmental progression and differentiation can restrict the regenerative capacity of Drosophila tissues. Experiments in Drosophila and other holometabolous insects have demonstrated that either damage to imaginal tissues [5, 6] or transplantation of a da...
متن کاملCompartments and the control of growth in the Drosophila wing imaginal disc.
The mechanisms that control organ growth are among the least known in development. This is particularly the case for the process in which growth is arrested once final size is reached. We have studied this problem in the wing disc of Drosophila, the developmental and growth parameters of which are well known. We have devised a method to generate entire fast-growing Minute(+) (M(+)) discs or com...
متن کاملA high-throughput template for optimizing Drosophila organ culture with response-surface methods.
The Drosophila wing imaginal disc is a key model organ for molecular developmental genetics. Wing disc studies are generally restricted to end-point analyses of fixed tissues. Recently several studies have relied on limited data from discs cultured in uncharacterized conditions. Systematic efforts towards developing Drosophila organ culture techniques are becoming crucial for further progress. ...
متن کاملLong-term Live Imaging of Drosophila Eye Disc
Live imaging provides the ability to continuously track dynamic cellular and developmental processes in real time. Drosophila larval imaginal discs have been used to study many biological processes, such as cell proliferation, differentiation, growth, migration, apoptosis, competition, cell-cell signaling, and compartmental boundary formation. However, methods for the long-term ex vivo culture ...
