Mechanisms of programmed cell death in the midgut and salivary glands from Bradysia hygida (Diptera: Sciaridae) during pupal–adult metamorphosis
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Cell Biology International"
DOI: 10.1002/cbin.11404
Abstract: Programmed cell death is involved with the degeneration/remodeling of larval tissues and organs during holometabolous development. The midgut is a model to study the types of programmed cell death associated with metamorphosis because its structure… read more here.
