Long-term live imaging of the Drosophila adult midgut reveals real-time dynamics of division, differentiation and loss

Organ renewal is governed by the dynamics of cell division, differentiation and loss. To study these dynamics in real time, we present a platform for extended live imaging of the adult Drosophila midgut, a premier genetic model for stem-cell-based organs. A window cut into a living animal allows the...
