...Alexander Hirschhäuser; Darius Molitor; Gabriela Salinas; Jörg Großhans; Katja Rust; Sven Bogdan ABSTRACT Drosophila blood cells called hemocytes form an efficient barrier against infections and tissue damage. During metamorphosis, hemocytes undergo tremendous changes in their shape and behavior...

...Holly N. Stephenson; Robert Streeck; Florian Grüblinger; Christian Goosmann; Alf Herzig ABSTRACT Proven roles for hemocytes (blood cells) have expanded beyond the control of infections in Drosophila . Despite this, the crucial role of hemocytes in post-embryonic development has long thought...

...Anne Holz; Barbara Bossinger; Thomas Strasser; Wilfried Janning; Robert Klapper As in many other organisms, the blood of Drosophila consists of several types of hemocytes, which originate from the mesoderm. By lineage analyses of transplanted cells, we specified two separate anlagen that give rise...

...Ulrich Tepass; Liselotte I. Fessler; Amina Aziz; Volker Hartenstein ABSTRACT We have studied the embryonic development of Drosophila hemocytes and their conversion into macrophages. Hemocytes derive exclusively from the mesoderm of the head and disperse along several invariant migratory paths...

... gland, hemocytes and proventriculus. These contrasting regulatory behaviors provide a well-defined model for studying the developmental specificity of steroid responses. Eip40 appears to be ecdysone-inducible only in the lymph gland and there only at the premetamorphic peak. The similarities been Eip28...
