Glia Are Key to Wiring Up Fly Eye (4 of 4) (VIDEO)
Caption
Z-stack of a control eye-optic lobe complex in which a wrapping glia-specific Gal4 drives expression of membrane targeted GFP. Wrapping glia are found basally in the eye disc and wrap PRs coherently in the optic stalk and into the optic lobe. (GFP in white; Dac in magenta; HRP in cyan). (Scale bar = 10μm). This material relates to a paper that appeared in the Sept. 1, 2017, issue of Science, published by AAAS. The paper, by V.M. Fernandes at New York University in New York, NY, and colleagues was titled, 'Glia relay differentiation cues to coordinate neuronal development in Drosophila.'
