Abstract:The size of subcellular structures must be tightly controlled to maintain normal cell function; this is especially important when cells are part of developing tissues or organs. Despite its importance, few studies have determined how the size of organelles or other structures is maintained during tissue growth, when cells are growing, dividing, and rearranging. The developing egg chamber is a powerful model in which to study the relative growth rates of subcellular structures. The egg chamber contains a cluste… Show more
