During development, the control of growth (mass increase) and cell division ensures that animals grow to reproducible sizes and contain cells that are consistent in size and number. We are interested in understanding more about how growth is regulated during development to achieve this. By studying the development of Drosophila imaginal discs (simple epithelial structures that give rise to the epidermal structures of the adult fly), we have found that signalling via a p...
