A method for the permeabilization of live Drosophila melanogaster larvae to small molecules and cryoprotectants
The larvae of Drosophila melanogaster is a model organism widely used to study the muscular and nervous systems. Drosophila larvae are surrounded by a waxy cuticle that prevents permeation by most substances. Here we develop a method to remove this layer, rendering the larvae permeable to small mole...
