Drosophila FGFR/Htl signaling shapes embryonic glia to phagocytose apoptotic neurons
Abstract Glial phagocytosis of apoptotic neurons is crucial for development and proper function of the central nervous system. Relying on transmembrane receptors located on their protrusions, phagocytic glia recognize and engulf apoptotic debris. Like vertebrate microglia, Drosophila phagocytic glia...
