Much as in the Drosophila larva, whose imaginal discs first revealed the existence of developmental compartments, the rhombomeric subdivisions of the vertebrate hindbrain are cell-lineage ...

Innate immunity has come to the forefront in immunology, aided by the discovery of antifungal defense in drosophila. Here Jules Hoffmann recounts his team's pioneering work on insect immunity.

However, some organisms (including drosophila larvae) that have an ECS with a high viscosity in the outermost layer remained active in the microscope (larvae A, B and C) without suffering neither ...
